"The 11th HOUR" Documentary
Leonardo DiCaprio's "The 11th Hour" is a feature length documentary concerning the environmental crises caused by human actions and their impact on the planet. "The 11th Hour" documents the cumulative impact of these actions upon the planet's life systems and calls for restorative action through a reshaping of human activity. With the help of over fifty of the world's most prominent thinkers and activists, including reformer Mikhail Gorbachev, physicist Stephen Hawking, and Nobel Prize winner Wangari Maathai, "The 11thHour" documents the grave problems facing the planet's life systems. Global warming, deforestation, mass species extinction, and depletion of the oceans' habitats are all addressed, and their causes rooted in human activity. The combination of these crises call into question the very future not of the planet, but of humanity. However, the most powerful element of "The 11th Hour" is not a portrait of a planet in crisis, but the offering of hope and solutions. Scientists and environmental advocates such as Paul Hawken, Bill McKibben and Ray Anderson paint a portrait for a radically new and exciting future in which humanity seeks not to dominate the earth's life systems, but to mimic them and coexist. "The 11th Hour" calls for a future now within our grasp that is both sustainable and healthier.

Up to 10,000 attendees will be invited to experience this showcase of the best in sustainability, technology and design and see where luxury and the environment live together in harmony.

The Children's Nature Institute Calls for Green Volunteers - November 1st
The Children’s Nature Institute (CNI) invites Los Angeles nature enthusiasts to attend an orientation and open house for their Volunteer Walk Leader Training program on
Thursday November 1st from 10 am till noon at Franklin Canyon Park in Beverly Hills.
The orientation will introduce potential volunteers to CNI’s volunteer program, which allows volunteers to lead walks at their convenience and at trails near their homes for local families and inner-city kids. CNI offers volunteers an exciting leadership training program; upon completion, participants will be certified to volunteer to lead nature walks for newborns through 8-year-olds at trails near their homes.
Lizette Castaño, CNI’s Executive Director, explained that the orientation is a great way to discover a unique volunteer program. "This amazing program is really fun for the whole family! We encourage moms and dads to take the training with their young children. In fact, kids as young as 6 can train to lead walks with you. Free childcare is available for younger children,” Castaño said.
Volunteers who participate in the training program will be trained in Southern California flora and fauna, safety and age-appropriate nature activities for children to perform on the trail. No experience is necessary. Volunteers can lead on weekdays or weekends and can choose from more than 50 parks and canyons throughout Los Angeles and Ventura Counties to lead their nature walks. “Many people already take walks in the hills. Why not share your love of nature with others at the same time?” Castaño said.
For more information about the orientation and open house, call Volunteer Coordinator James Sackheim at (310) 860-9484 or visit www.ChildrensNatureInstitute.org.
