Our next green clip is about people helping people... while on vacation. From helping out orphans in Tanzania to building homes for Habitat for Humanity, travel experts say an increasing number of baby boomers are participating in volunteer vacations.

Tibetans have lived off the grasslands of the Tibetan Plateau for millennia but their way of life is being threatened. Asia Society has commissioned this exclusive video shot by Tibetan environmentalists throughout 2008, showing how as the plateau warms up, this environmentally harmonious way of life is now under pressure. Rapidly melting glaciers and thawing permafrost have disturbed watersheds for rivers, lakes and the pastoral ecosystems and the consequences are continental and beyond. Running Time: 11 minutes.

InfoDrop: Bottled water isn’t safer than tap water. Last year, Environmental Working Group did a study that tested popular brands of bottled water for contamination. They found 38 different harmful chemicals, including painkillers, fertilizer and arsenic, in 10 brands of bottled water.
InfoDrop: There are around 1 billion people without access to improved, safe, or affordable drinking water.
The person you love is 72.8% water.
The stakes are high for us and our children. Everyone should take part in the effort, and HOME has been conceived to take a message of mobilization out to every human being.
For this purpose, HOME needs to be free. A patron, the PPR Group, made this possible. EuropaCorp, the distributor, also pledged not to make any profit because Home is a non-profit film.
HOME has been made for you : share it! And act for the planet.

We are living in exceptional times. Scientists tell us that we have 10 years to change the way we live, avert the depletion of natural resources and the catastrophic evolution of the Earth's climate.
