Goal

ReelGreen’s goal is to provide individuals and communities with the tools needed to take action to solve local environmental issues, using proven models that drive measurable and sustainable change in communities.

The film An Inconvenient Truth showed many Americans a reality of which they were unaware; this powerful medium inspired individuals to make changes in their daily lives—evidence that film can compel individuals to take action and make a difference, no matter how small. Likewise, RG uses motivating films as the catalyst to inspire individuals to move from audience to action. By screening award-winning environmental films that have strong educational value but also are entertaining and inspirational, RG acts as a facilitator to bring together resources, people, and solutions at locally hosted events, united by common environmental concerns. We provide activists and community leaders with tools, including films, planning guides for events ranging from a single issue to a full festival, solution models, and proven strategies to build local and global partnerships—to plan a successful film event, then continue momentum, working with local communities to a successful project completion.

By involving increasing numbers of individuals in these efforts, we foster a dynamic interaction of ideas—initiatives need not be undertaken in isolation. With over 13,000 environmental initiatives already underway, ReelGreen’s focus is on making the most powerful changes in the least amount of time—to improve local conditions and replicate those proven solutions around the world.
By educating and inspiring increasing numbers of key individuals to action, ReelGreen will cultivate a culture of responsibility and change in many communities around the world.
