Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Jamieawhitlock I absolutely love this film. I am a high school science teacher and I use this film to teach human impact for my ecology unit. It is wonderful because it shows the reality of things happening all around us while being positive. I feel it is unique to this topic because so many films give the doom and gloom feel. For young people, we need to educate and INSPIRE!! I have had 15 year old students cry, get angry, and get excited all from watching this film! Buy it, share it and educate with it- it is truly powerful!!! Wish I could go on a YERT 2 and would love a follow up on some of the amazing people met throughout the film!! Don't waste another minute......you have to watch this film!!

Janet-Pinkston Freshest, most original media treatment of any topic I've seen in many a year. Loved the idea, the framework, the pacing, the brains, the humor, and most of all, the good will. It's "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" meets "Save the Planet." Ben, Julie and Mark have managed to bust through the rhetoric to create something magical in the form of YERT. They say what needs to be said and then move on to the next leg of the adventure. How much we could all learn from this simple technique. But something simple, and also high-quality, is rare indeed. May God bless these young idealists in all their camera-slinging travels. Can't wait to see what's next.

Bill_Arceneaux At this moment (of writing), I am drinking some sugar free mix out of a used Powerade bottle. Normally, I would just dump the bottle into the recycling can and wait until the 2nd or 4th Saturday of the month to bring it to the local recycling center. But tonight, I have cut out the middle man and recycled something myself."YERT: Your Environmental Road Trip" features three individuals who put shame to my Earth saving attempt. See, they spent a year on the road, going through all 50 states of this country, documenting people and organizations dedicated to ecological progress and anything/everything green. Along the way, they cut down on their personal trash, gauged electricity use and lived out of a hybrid - man do I feel lazy.The trio's road trip is very enlightening, and at times emotional. At one point, they visit a man who has lost his family and friends due to his unwillingness to allow coal companies to work on his land. If they were to do so, the results would be quite drastic; removal of soil that prevents forests from coming back, black drinking water, cancer and other illnesses for residents, etc. The C in coal stands for "clean"? Doesn't look like it. For this man to continue living on his land is a last stand and a statement that far too FEW of us are making.But, luckily, there are MANY in this country that are showing us a future worth fighting for. Like the guy who makes products out of trash. Or the company that builds Earth Ships - life supporting, carbon zero housing. How about the Solar Roadways project, that looks to change the electrical grid by making roads that collect solar energy? And community currencies like Berk Shares and Ithaca Hours? These are but a few of the exciting things going on RIGHT NOW in America. "YERT" is at its best when covering these little known gems.So, should I feel bad that I've only contributed little while this trio has done and exposed so much? Probably not. "YERT" is not looking to shame you, but rather to inspire you. If that inspiration leads you to reusing plastic bottles, wasting less water or riding your bike more often, then all the better. No need to become a hippie overnight. Now, with your permission, I'd like to finish my drink.

Brian Sims I am fortunate enough to own a copy of this film and to know the film makers! All I can say is the adventure experienced, the people involved, and the content covered are great. This film will make you laugh, cry, and everything in between. It highlights many great people and great ideas current to our society. Some of the ideas seem so simple you ask yourself "Why haven't we or why aren't we doing this now?" There are some very eye opening interviews and some of the content is not easy to stomach, but it gives one hope that people do care and that they can make a difference. It is definitely worth a watch. Enjoy with friends and family, or with complete strangers! I give it a THUMBS UP!
