Autorenporträt
Lynne Cherry is an author, illustrator, filmmaker and environmental lecturer. She has written and/?or illustrated over 30 award-winning books for children. Her bestselling books such as The Great Kapok Tree and A River Runs Wild teach children a respect for the earth, have sold over a million copies, and are translated into many languages. Lynne is the producer and director of the Young Voices for the Planet movie series. "Messages of gloom and doom elicit reactions of fear and hopelessness, but the 8 Young Voices for the Planet films focus on empowerment," says Cherry. "These kids inspire us all to embrace the seriousness of climate change. Just as they pressured us to stop smoking and littering, wear seat belts, and recycle, creating change from the roots up, they can encourage us to take action to reduce the carbon footprint of homes, schools and communities."

This film features four Florida middle school girls who save their school $53,000 in energy costs. A Harvard professor uses Kids vs. Global Warming in his ethics classes.
