I get the New York Times Headlines in my inbox everyday. This weekend's chilling, but utterly unsurprising story was on the "unequivocal" nature of scientist's warnings and that "human activity" is the main driver…" And there was that sad image once again of polar bears balancing on shrinking ice floes. Since I spent my childhood in Canada's arctic, the polar bears' plight always gives me a pang.

We were overwhelmed by one question during the first year of The Corporation's launch: Everyone asked us : "What can I do?" Now we're right backatcha asking: What have you done? In order to develop the Campaign 4 Corporate Harm Reduction, we want to collect your stories about what the film inspired you to do, and what the result was. And if you've heard of things other people have done let us know too.

I saw Jennifer Baichwal's film for the first time at the Vancouver Film Festival last week. Last night it opened in Vancouver (it's been playing for several weeks in Toronto) and it will open in other Canadian cities soonI've seen a fair amount of films lately, but the flashbacks from this "art and horror" flick have been haunting me. The visual vastness of Peter Mettler's cinematography, punctuated by Edward Burtynsky's still shots, perfectly portrays the dark soul of Walmart and its kin. Manufactured Landscapes lays bare what globalization, mass-market consumption, and techno-waste actually looks like.

We came across bristling blogger Mike Cowie & his hilarious rants about our latest campaign project - The Big Picture with Avi Lewis - and we just had to share. So please enjoy HelloCoolWorld.com's first guest blogger!
Dedicated to music, film, sport, world travel, a far more just world, & Bob
Dylan (not necessarily in that order), Mike is presently
tangled up in the blues (& joys) of writing his first book, an account of his
(and wife Sonoko's) 3-year trip across Asia.

I hope you all checked out Avi's show again last night ("The Big Picture with Avi Lewis: Part 3 - Can We Save Planet Earth?"). Debating how to deal with global warming may not have stirred up quite as passionate of a debate as the shows from the past two weeks on torture and religion did; but, really, it's the much bigger - and much more important - topic by far.
