The following is a letter from Leonardo DiCaprio about the new upcoming film, The 11th Hour, that features Sole Technology, etnies and etnies owner and president, Pierre Andre Senizergues. Stay tuned for more info and eco-tips in the etnies Seed Project blog soon!
Friends,
I am writing to tell you about my new environmental film, “The 11th Hour.” The film documents the environmental crises we face and the solutions we must begin to implement.
Please take a look at the above.
With the help of over fifty of the world's most prominent thinkers and activists, including reformer Mikhail Gorbachev, physicist Stephen Hawking, and Nobel Prize winner Wangari Maathai, “The 11th Hour” documents the grave problems facing the planet's life systems. Global warming, deforestation, mass species extinction, and depletion of the oceans' habitats are all addressed.
However, the most powerful element of “The 11th Hour” is not a portrait of a planet in crisis, but an offering of hope and solutions. The film ends with a call for restorative action through reshaping human activity.
“The 11th Hour” is opening on August 17th in New York and Los Angeles. On the 24th it opens in other cities, and in the following weeks across the country. It would be great if you could go see it and bring a friend. You can go to www.11thhouraction.com to get more information on the movie and when it will play near you.
We need the message of this movie to hit as far and wide as possible.
The hope is us. Let's begin.
Thank You,
Leonardo DiCaprio

Eric Geiselman had people talking with his crazy surfing, but failed to make the finals. Still ripping, regardless.
San Clemente’s Brandon Ragenovich.
Lost Pro Jr. finalist, Mason Ho was ripping all week long. Mason finished 4th in the Pro Jr and had a good run in the Men's as well.
HB’s Brett Simpson had the support from the entire beach and the HB highschool cheerleaders!

More Brett!

As a result, she took home a total of $1,800 and is now ranked eighteenth in the World Qualifying Series (WQS) overall standings. Well...
