00:00Celebs using their platforms to tackle serious issues isn't new, but when it comes to the
00:05environment, some have taken it all the way to the White House.
00:09Take Jane Fonda, for example.
00:10She's been a fierce climate activist for years, organizing protests, getting arrested,
00:16and speaking directly to government leaders to demand change.
00:19Jason Momoa has made protecting our oceans his personal mission, even addressing global
00:24leaders as an ambassador for marine ecosystems.
00:27And Joaquin Phoenix, while you know him for roles that leave you on the edge of your seat,
00:31he's also been vocal about the need for President Biden to take bold action against
00:35plastic pollution.
00:37But here's the thing, speeches and protests can only go so far.
00:41If real, lasting change is going to happen, it needs to go beyond Washington, D.C.
00:45We need to focus on action in our communities.
00:48Cities across the U.S. have already begun making moves, proving that grassroots efforts
00:52can drive real progress.
00:54Follow the lead of these activists, whether they're on the red carpet or in your neighborhood,
00:59and keep pushing for the policies our planet desperately needs.
