carbon nation documentary now on DVD and On Demand

Critically acclaimed documentary carbon nation is available now on DVD at www.carbonnationmovie.com (worldwide shipping) and selected retailers including Walmart and Amazon.com. The film is also available on Video on Demand in 100 million homes in the U.S and Canada. Visit our website for a full list of carriers.

carbon nation is an optimistic, solutions-based, non-preachy, non-partisan, big tent film that shows tackling climate change boosts the economy, increases national & energy security and promotes health & a clean environment. carbon nation is a film that celebrates solutions, inspiration and action, making it appealing across the political spectrum.

Award-winning director Peter Byck says: 

“In 15 months of presenting the film to very diverse audiences, we have come to the realization that we are not a polarized country, as many on TV will tell us, and many in Washington play out. Rather, there is great consensus among a large and varied group of Americans: renewable energy sources and using less energy are great ideas – whether to boost the economy, increase national and energy security and promote health and a clean environment. As it stands now, good Americans are being lied to, told that we are polarized, and then many act out as if this were true, creating a self-fulfilling crash. It’s a storytelling problem.
 
  Narrated by Bill Kurtis, the cast includes some green and some not so green celebrities:
Richard Branson (CEO, Virgin Group), Thomas L. Friedman (New York Times), Former CIA Director James Woolsey, Van Jones (Founder, Green For All), Col. Dan Nolan, U.S. Army (Ret), Amory Lovins (Chairman, RMI), Art Rosenfeld (Commissioner, California Energy Commission), Denis Hayes (Founder of Earth Day), Ralph Cavanagh (NRDC), Lester Brown (Earth Policy Institute), John Rowe (CEO, Exelon) and Jim Rogers (CEO, Duke Energy). After a year in the festival circuit, carbon nation opened theatrically in New York on February 11, 2011. Theatrical runs followed in Los Angeles, Austin, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Chicago. There have been over 600+ word-of-mouth screenings (and many more in the pipeline.) carbon nation has been featured in Canada, South Africa, Sweden, The Netherlands, Jordan, Israel, Belgium, Australia, Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Ireland, Italy and has also enjoyed sold-out screenings in London & Cape Town.

The PB&J Campaign Celebrates Earth Day (April 22nd) and the Positive Environmental Impact of a PB&J.
Have greener sex this Earth Day and up to $10K will go to Carbonfund.org to celebrate. It's pretty easy: follow We Vibe on Twitter @ms_wevibe and for each new follower, they'll donate $5, up to $10K total to Carbonfund.org. Also check out five tips on how to be eco-sexier and have 'greener sex' below. Details: Standard Innovation Corporation, the company behind the We-Vibe – the fastest-selling sexual health product of its type in history, announced a charitable campaign to combat global warming this Earth Day, April 22, 2011. The company will donate $5 to Carbonfund.org for every new person who follows @Ms_WeVibe on Twitter or likes the We-Vibe Facebook page between now and April 22 to report that eco-friendly sex is important to them. “It's our way of offsetting the carbon generated from all that extra heavy breathing – and then some,” jokes Danny Osadca, We-Vibe company CEO. “We have always been a carbon-neutral provider of body-safe and eco-friendly products and this is an extra tip of our hat to Mother Nature.”
“Ecommando” is an action packed Web series that follows Ex-Navy Seal and environmentally clueless Leon Green (Jason Nash, star of Atom.com’s “The Shaman” and “Jason Nash Is Married”).

Armed with his perma-stoned car, Bro (voiced by David Cross, “Arrested Development”), the duo becomes “the newest environmental disaster.” Can Leon get over his tough guy attitude long enough to take on the bad guys and save the day?

Joe Veilleux doesn’t view himself as an environmentalist, but he understands how his actions might paint him with that brush. “I’m not an environmentalist,” said Veilleux, general manager of the U.S. operations of natural health ingredient manufacturer Euromed. “I’m a pragmatist. There’s a difference. A lot of environmentalists have characterized their cause as one that pits them directly against corporate America. I’m part of corporate America, but I also recognize the debt I owe to the environment and want to do my fair share to protect it. In the long run, it’s just good for business and there are plenty of examples throughout history of how our environment is one of our most valuable natural resources.” Veilleux’s company is partner with the Everglades Foundation in a campaign dubbed Glade-iator (www.glade-iator.org), which is a model of the public-private partnership Veilleux believes is good for business.
