Maria was married this year to her love at LA’s green event space, the Smog Shoppe in the Culver City area.
It was a fun and exquisite time, and they had a second ceremony in France. Felicitations Maria!

Go Live Give at the “Fuel” screening

Maria here, I was able to be a part of the outdoor movie screening of Fuel, playing now in Los Angeles.

“Fuel is a vital, superbly assembled documentary that presents an insightful overview of America’s troubled relationship with oil and how alternative and sustainable energies can reduce our country’s — and the world’s — addictive dependence on fossil fuels.”
– Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

I was able to meet with the film’s director Josh Tickell, who spent 11 years crossing the country in his vegetable oil-powered “Veggie Van,” promoting biofuels. This is just one of the myriad things this amazing man has delved into in order to learn about the way we glean energy. Ultimately, this movie documents his journey and passion for promoting the responsible use of the natural resources we have been given. I also was able to meet Peter Fonda, woo hoo!

Do see this movie! Running time: 1 hour, 51 minutes. At AMC’s Loews Broadway 4, 1441 Third Street Promenade, Santa Monica. (310) 458-6232. Coming soon to Washington and Hawaii

Maria was interviewed by Scott of NaturallySavvy.com at O! Burger on Santa Monica Boulevard in Los Angeles.

In her eco-chic dress by Fin, Maria was able to share what she does to live a green lifestyle, and soon the video will be available on www.naturallysavvy.com!

Kim and I have attended two fun Opportunity Green events. First, we went to the Architecture and Design museum on Wilshire to attend the 367 event, an after-work gathering for young green-minded professionals. Next we enjoyed the Beauty and Sustainability evening at Lululemon on Beverly Blvd. We learned so much and met some incredible people!

Cool Green weekend

SATURDAY MAY 3rd and May 4th Noon – 8:00 p.m.

Maria here! This weekend I had fun at a Family Affair event at the downtown LA Standard. Family Affair is a Los Angeles based organization which partners with environmental and social organizations to help promote positive change for our planet Earth. Partnering with Cool Green , Family Affair welcomed Marc Barasch, bestselling author and founder of the Green World Campaign and he invited us to green the world right now by planting 10 million trees in Ethiopia!

J Wallace from Ocean Revolution also had an AMAZING message for us. Ocean Revolution is here to inspire a new wave of young leaders, united in their quest for innovative solutions to protect our oceans.

Overall, it was so fun to juxtapose a fun party atmosphere with making a difference!

Yahoo Green

We had a very early start to our day today. At 7AM Maria and I had our webcast interview with voluntourism.org, if you have a chance please check it out. David Clemmons did a great job interviewing us and as he promised it was as good as Larry King! I have to say it was nice being the one getting interviewed for a change. As the producer I’m usually the one who has to coordinate all the questions

Also today, Maria and I had a booth at the Yahoo Green Fair. We were able to talk to some Yahoo employees about Go Live Give and our Hawaii episode. Big thanks to Keith and Seth for setting this day up for us!

At the fair we were able to hang out with some people from sustainablela.org. If you have a chance please check out what they are doing for the city of Santa Monica. If you are a business in the area please look into talking to them about making your business more eco-friendly.
