Earth Cinema Circle Fosters Environmental Awareness
Earth Cinema Circle, a DVD club founded by Ed Begley, Jr., promotes and sells earth-friendly films. Endorsed by The Conservation Fund, the club offers 4 films per DVD every other month, selected from among thousands of environmental films.

Begley believes films can change the way people perceive their world. Earth Cinema Circle films entertain while taking a stand for the earth and showing viewers how to make a difference, he says. He notes that Earth Cinema Circle is “the only DVD club dedicated to increasing social & environmental awareness through entertaining films.”

For a membership fee of $17.95 every other month, members can own films such as A Life Among Whales, How to Save the World (with one man, one cow, one planet), and The True Cost of Food.

Online Video Details High Stakes for Planet Earth
“This is about the future of humanity. All that we know is at stake,” is the opening statement of “Earth: The Sequel,” an online video. Based on the book, “Earth: The Sequel: The Race to Reinvent Energy and Stop global Warming” by Fred Krupp and Miriam Horn, the video describes how the multi-trillion dollar corporate energy sector is transforming itself as the reality of current climate change dawns.

Once again, far-sighted inventors and entrepreneurs “are racing to revolutionize the way we meet our energy needs,” reports Fred Krupp of the Environmental Defense Fund. This is a hopeful call to arms to rise up to greet “the next new thing.” It carries an inspiring message that there is hope for the climate crisis if we act now.

The video can be viewed at http://earththesequel.environmentaldefense.org/. The book is available on Amazon.com.
