YERT: Your Environmental Road Trip. Put this on your must-see list.

This is an excellent-looking film I heard about a few months ago and would love to see.

Apparently it’s as good as the trailers make it look.

YERT, I think, is exactly what this site is about – fun ways to help the environment and fun storytelling to give props to such innovative, green projects and efforts.

At its world premiere at the Environmental Film Festival at Yale (EEFY) a couple weeks ago, the film tied with Oscar-nominated Waste Land for the EFFY Audience Award.

OK, want to know what the film is about exactly?

The best way to find out is probably just to watch one of the film’s 60(!) trailers on YouTube.

Or maybe all 60.

I’ve included what were apparently the first 2 here:

 

 

 

 

For those into text summaries… Hello, is anyone still out there?… Well, in case you come back, here’s a little more info in old-fashioned text:

YERT includes the stories of innovative, cool people and projects all across the United States who are making a difference and protecting the environment, in ways many of us never could have dreamt up.

This is anything but a dry documentary. The 3 filmmakers have focused on making the whole thing fun and light-hearted (and no, that doesn’t mean the projects are any less meaningful).

The 3 filmmakers, all in their 20s, roll across the US’ 50 states in 52 weeks searching out and documenting local solutions to climate change. Wish I could have joined along.

Jeff Biggers of Huffington Post interviewed the 3 filmmakers just before YERT’s world premiere.

If you aren’t tired of the text yet, head on over there to check out that interview.

About Us

JeffreyI think every little step toward living green is an awesome one... but eco-snobbery sucks! My goal is to help newbies learn the most important steps toward living green -- individually and collectively. Personally, I strive to have as little impact as possible on Planet Earth while I'm here.

JoshuaAs an advocate for good health, I usually try to choose the 'greener' option over other more dangerous and/or wasteful options. Generally, if it's bad for your health or the planet, I try to avoid it. In my effort to live green... on a budget, I like to find new (healthier) budget-friendly ways to do things -- from eating and cleaning to recycling and home decorating. My goal is to help you take the chore out of living green by sharing fun new ecofriendly ideas that you can try today... or any day! My all-time favorite way to live green is to repurpose items and give them a new use -- I've written a lot of useful DIY articles.

LynnetteMy experience with living green consists of taking baby steps (like making one big change each year as my New Year's resolution) -- because I've seen too many people burn out on trying to 'Save the Planet'. I share a lot of Simple Ways To Go Green, as I find new and successful strategies that have worked for me. While I'm baby-stepping my ecofriendly habits in life, you will find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).
