Check this out. Wonder if we could get Leo DiCaprio into election reform?
Edited on Mon Mar-28-05 10:24 PM by Amaryllis
DiCaprio is a super environmentalist. Wonder if we pointed out to him that the environment is gonna continue to get pillaged if we don't oust the Fourth Reich and get elections where we can get good people in office who care about it.

I keep wondering where the activist celebs are in this fight. What do you guys think?

Established in 1998, the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation has actively fostered awareness of environmental issues through participation with such organizations as Natural Resources Defense Council, Global Green, USA, the International Fund For Animal Welfare, and National Geographic Kids, to name a few.

In order to reach, inform, and entertain a wider global audience about these issues, the environmental website www.leonardodicaprio.org was created.

The Foundation places particular emphasis on the issues of global warming, alternative and renewable energy sources, and the preservation of the planet's amazing biodiversity.
To this end, it supported the efforts made by the Dian Fossey Foundation, Reef Check, Oceana, Santa Monica's Heal The Bay, and the U'wa Defense Project.

TreePeople and the Foundation, along with Tree Muskateers joined forces to promote the incorporation of trees into urban neighborhoods and also to help reforest the decimated Southern California mountains.

Environment Now honored the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation with its prestigious Martin Litton Environmental Warrior Award in 2001.

1. It is way cool of Leonardo DiCaprio to be an active Environmentalist
I love him even more today. I do believe it may well be worth an attempt to draw him into this concern since those in power make the laws. Environment has beent taking big hits from the Republicans these past two elections.

2. Yes. I was thinking if he got it that if we don't get the election issue
handled, the environment is screwed, we might be able to get him involved. What if a bunch of us wrote him to this effect? There is a contact listed on the site.
