Check out these great reviews: New York Times: http://movies2.nytimes.com/2007/08/17/movies/17hour.html "To judge from all the gas-guzzlers still fouling the air and the plastic bottles clogging the dumps, it appears that the news that we are killing ourselves and the world with our greed and garbage hasn't sunk in. That's one reason "The 11th Hour," an unnerving, surprisingly affecting documentary about our environmental calamity, is such essential viewing." It is our astonishing capacity fo

Billie Joe Armstrong says: Last week, Adrienne and I went to the premiere of "The 11th Hour," Leonardo DiCaprio's new documentary film. The movie is really great. You should check it out (it opens in New York and Los Angeles on Friday the 17th, and in other cities later this month). "The 11th Hour" is intense. It tells us the truth that nobody wants to hear: that human beings, especially greedy corporate executives and their politician cronies, are responsible for putting our planet in serious

"I wanted to write a long explanation of why I'm doing this print to help promote the movie the 11th Hour and to generate funds for the 11thhouraction.com. Unfortunately, I'm short on time and so is planet Earth as we know it. Basically the film expands on the Earth crisis explained in an Inconvenient Truth. Global warming, deforestation, pollution, dependence on petroleum, and over -population. The film puts these issues in frightening perspective but also shows there are solutions. Skip the ne

When Nadia, Leo, and I made "The 11th Hour," we hoped it would give attention to people, issues, and ideas that the mainstream media had ignored for decades. We hoped, the people in the film could use it to advance the causes so many of them have courageously and stubbornly championed for decades. It's why I'm so happy in the last few days with how Tzeporah Berman has used the film to bring attention to the destruction of Canada's forest. People don't realize that Canada's ancient forests are i

When I did my first hunger strike on a shrimp boat in Texas in l991, a savvy, environmentalist friend said it was the stupidest thing he had ever heard of. Nobody did hunger strikes in Texas. Maybe in California or India, but certainly not Texas. Another thing, he said, an activist never does what her community isn't ready for. And my little Gulf coast fishing community was not ready for what I was fixing to pull. Still I sat on a Gulf shrimp boat in Lavaca Bay--two strikes against me-- until a

Leading Man Leads a 'Green Revolution' Top Story on Nightline: " Leonardo DiCaprio says it was years ago when then-Vice President Al Gore took the time to explain to him the phenomenon of global warming and what it means for Earth. "I was terrified, "DiCaprio said. "I think I was terrified, like anyone would be. And I didn't quite understand the connection that we had as human beings and the fact that we could literally alter our climate in that way." Now the 32-year-old actor, whose c

"When I first encountered First Nations people, they told me we are made of the four sacred elements: earth, air, fire and water," Suzuki explains by way of introduction to his doc. "As I reflected on that, I realized we've framed the environmental problem the wrong way. There's no environment "out there" for us to interact with. We are the environment, because we are the Earth. For me, that began a whole shift in the way that I looked at the issues that confront us and the way we live on this p

Paul Hawken has some wondeful thoughts in "The 11th Hour," his book is reviewed here: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/05/books/review/Sullivan-t.html?_r=1&oref=slogin "Blessed Unrest" is about a movement that no one has noticed, not even the people involved. "The movement," as Paul Hawken calls it, is made up of an unknowable number of citizens and mostly ragtag organizations that come and go. But when you do see it, you understand it to include NGOs, nonprofit agencies and a seemingly dispa
