- “Your Environmental Road Trip” Needs Support
Sent in to me from a fellow greenbean:
Went to a friend’s house last night for a presentation by a young man who has an industrial engineering degree from Stanford. He left his high paying tech job after seeing “An Inconvenient Truth” so he could figure out a way to address global warming. He and a couple of friends traveled to all fifty states in 52 weeks to film people who are making contributions to fight global warming.
While he realizes traveling in a car was not a very environmentally friendly thing to do they gave
themselves some interesting ways to compensate. For example, allowing themselves only one shoebox worth of trash for the entire trip. He named his film “Your Environmental Road Trip” or YERT for short. Everyone from scientists, farmers, dumpster divers!, a guy who turn trash into marketable products were represented here.
It was a great presentation and he’s trying to raise $ to finish the editorial process. He has Sony Pictures, and a number of other big studios interested in distributing it or figuring out how to air it on TV as an ongoing series.
The clips we saw were terrific. They successfully blended the seriousness of the issue with a lot of humor. For more information and to view clips, go to http://www.yert.com .
