I am an actor, writer, environmental activist, and business entrepreneur. For over 30 years, I have been taking steps to preserve the environment- - driving an electric car, recycling waste, using solar energy, investing in renewable resources - and I've always tried to set a good example for others who are interested in sustainable living. I have learned that it's not only been good for the environment, but it's been good for my pocketbook.

I am delighted to support Hollywood Goes Green, the first Hollywood based conference designed to educate and inspire the entertainment industry professional on how to use our creative talent and business expertise to influence environmental consciousness to create social change.

Please join me at this historic gathering for an in-depth exchange of ideas and meet industry influencers who share your passion for protecting the environment.

I will be a keynote speaker addressing how Hollywood can adopt ecological strategies in its business practices. Discover how you take can take steps in your daily operations-such as energy conservation, building and construction; waste reduction, procurement, and reducing carbon emissions-to make significant changes for a sustainable future.

You will hear visionary speakers, lively panel discussions and practical solutions. Every attendee will take home a handbook and resource guide with articles and practical guidelines on implementing environmental practices. And most of all, you will have a chance to network with Hollywood executives from film, TV, cable, music, advertising and leading environmental organizations to share ideas for delivery of persuasive environmental messages in film, TV and music.

If you are an entertainment professional like myself who loves the creative process; but you are troubled about the devastating effects of global warming, and you want to learn how you can adopt environmentally sensitive practices at home and work, then you MUST attend.

I have no doubt that preserving the environment is also good for Hollywood's bottom line. Please join me at Hollywood Goes Green so together we can make a difference to improve our planet.
