BANG FOR THE BITE
Might not save the world, but at least you'll show green stars and studios you support their actions while getting your feature-flick fix.
COCKTAIL FACT
In a recent poll, 79% of respondents said Al Gore is the celeb who has most influenced their views on the importance of going green.

The Bite
And...action! Sitting in an over air-conditioned theater chomping GMO popcorn isn't the #1 eco-friendliest pastime, but check out all the stars and studios turning the silver screen green in 2007.The Benefits
- Less pollution. The entertainment industry is the #2 polluter in Los Angeles (second only to the oil biz), so support studios that are eco-committed.
- Entertain yourself. Movies about the environment don't have to be as boring as watching compost biodegrade.
- Somehow, it makes that GMO popcorn with artificial butter flavor a lot more appealing.
Personally Speaking
After spotting Leo DiCaprio in person three times in a row across 2 different continents, Heather's convinced he's stalking her. Sadly, the fact that he's engaged isn't dissuading her.Wanna Try?
- The 11th Hour - premiering at Cannes, Leonardo DiCaprio wrote and narrates this documentary on global warming (fall).
- Evan Almighty - the first carbon-free major comedy stars Steve Carell and Morgan Freeman (June 22).
- Dr. Bronner's Magic Soapbox - the story behind the socially responsible soap company (June 29).
- Transformers - an irony-infused action flick about robots who invade the earth only to find it's kind of an eco-dump (July 4).
- Warner Bros. - the first big studio to build a green building.

Summer, 1996. Writing grad school thesis while living at home with the parents. Thesis was on the OJ Simpson verdict. If I read the thesis now, I'd have no idea what I was even saying.
However, I DO remember one of my favorite quotes of all time... sitting in my backyard, chatting with my mom, I was probably babbling about whichever hottie celeb I was crushing on at the time (Matthew M? David Duchovny?). Eventually, Mom laughed, and said:
"Heather, you're never going to have a real relationship - your fantasy life is too rich and nothing could measure up."
Hilarious at the time, today, I sometimes wonder if she didn't hit that particular nail on the head.
-Heather... off to LA (NOT to stalk Leo)...
