> Want to make a blockbuster impact this summer?

>

> The Bite:

> Opening weekend box office receipts can make or

> break a movie’s chance

> for success. This summer, reward studios that are

> doing their part by

> supporting Hollywood movies made using eco-friendly

> methods or

> starring celebs who, frankly, my dear, do give a

> damn about the

> planet.

>

>

> The Benefits:

> - Sit back and enjoy the show while supporting the

> celebs who support

> the planet!

> - Support the movie studios that are making the

> environment a top

> priority.

> - Warner Bros was the first, but certainly won’t be

> the last, major

> studio to commission complete carbon offsetting for

> production of a

> movie (Syriana). Encourage more studios to continue

> this trend.

> Personally Speaking

> Now that he’s lost the elf ears, Heather is even

> more in love with

> Orlando and can’t wait to see Pirates. And as Jen

> confessed in a past

> blog, she will go to the mat with Heather for George

> Clooney

> - An Inconvenient Truth - Al Gore and Laurie David

> teamed up with

> Paramount and Native Energy to carbon offset the

> - Nacho Libre - Jack Black, who drives a hybrid and

> supports Stop

> Global Warming , plays a priest-turned-wrestler

> trying to save an

> - Superman Returns - studio Warner Bros has kicked

> Bang for the Bite Rating: 2 Apples (out of 5)

> The carbon-offset production of last year’s Syriana

> generated as much

> CO2 as 401 passenger cars do in one year. Imagine

> the positive effect

> on the planet if more films were offset.

> Cocktail Tip

> On average, Americans eat around 60 quarts of

> popcorn per person per

> year.
