About the film:
YERT: Your Environmental Road Trip celebrates the American spirit in the face of adversity, and is a unique docu-comedy profiling the courageous and creative individuals, groups, businesses and leaders of this country who are tackling the greatest environmental threats in history. It features the travels of Mark Dixon, Ben Evans, and Julie Evans as they covered 50 states in one year and virtually every environmental issue coast to coast. With a blend of humor and depth, the film features such luminaries as Bill McKibben, Deepak Chopra, and members of Congress – as well as ordinary citizens from all walks of life.
Mark Dixon and Ben Evans met while attending Stanford University back in the mid-90’s. Inspired by visionary leaders including Wes Jackson, David Orr, Bill McKibben, and Janine Benyus, they launched the YERT adventure from the Rachel Carson Homestead just outside of Pittsburgh on July 4, 2007. The trip finished one year later with a finale party at the Temple Nightclub in downtown San Francisco. After three years in post-production, YERT heads back to San Francisco for this special premiere.
