The Streets Mike Skinner has said he is growing more concious of our precious the world is.

Speaking to the Sun newspaper, Skinner said tracks on the band's new album 'Everything Is Borrowed' highlight the problems – and how he hopes to deal with them.

“I do have a sense that the world will end. I’m not sure whether that makes me clinically depressed but I am aware how delicate our little bubble is," he said.

Skinner added that the group had taken steps to ensure that their forthcoming tour is more eco-friendly.

“It’s not like I’m a crazy eco-warrior but when we tour we travel very lightly nowadays,” he added.
