Nice motors, shame aboutthe colour

Leonardo DiCaprio, the star who helped turn Hollywood green

'As well as his Toyota Prius, his latest car is equally in tune with the times - a BMW H7, which runs on hydrogen.'

Must be tricky driving both at once.

'may look like a fuel-hungry executive saloon - but it burns hydrogen, not petrol'

And just because the fuel is not petrol that makes it less hungry... how? And what is the enviROI of hydrogen at the moment?

We'll ask the questions!

I found this - Hour Town - courtesy of the estimable Grist to be on interest on a variety of levels, along with a lot of the feedback.

I still want to see the film as it is billed as having positive solutions, so it's notable that I hook into this aspect, as will others. Green Celeb-fatigue?

Though the problems of messengers vs. message, especially when some (well, I do) wonder if we are not a bit past celeb-inspired 'awareness' by now, are clearly still in evidence.

Sounds.. Looks Intriguing

Frankly anything that's about the environment with a luvvie celeb attached is enough for me to head straight for the Hummer dealers, but I must say this has my interest piqued: The 11th Hour

If only for this comment: '...it’s got everything An Inconvenient Truth was missing…solutions. It should be regarded as the crown jewel for the kid movie star turned environmentalist, Leonardo DiCaprio, as an engaging review of what the global community is facing due to environmental decay and what we can do about it.'

I like solutions. And am quite aware already thank you. Let's hope it lives up to this review.
