Let's All Refrain from Carbon Emissions

While the last thing the war on global warming needs is MORE hot air, Robert Redford is apparently adding poetry to the arsenal.

From NPR.com:

Robert Redford Fights Global Warming With Poetry

Robert Redford has been fighting on behalf of the environment for more than 30 years...

...These days, he has a new venue for environmental activism: slam poetry. Sponsored by Redford's Sundance Preserve, in collaboration with Youth Speaks, a nonprofit that presents spoken-word performances, the Academy Award-winning actor is getting his message out in rhyme.

“Words are just words without action. But I think what we're seeing here today with these poets is the beginning of action.” - Robert Redford

What's next "Haikus for Hunger?"
