19 Movies for Earth Day

I got this off Huffington Post (I LOVE HuffPo). But thought it was a GREAT way to spend Earth Day aside from the planting a tree, planning a garden and researching if you need a permit in LA to keep your own chickens (yes I did that today!). So turn off everything in your home except the TV and watch a movie about the environment.

Here is a varied selection of movies in which the environment plays a role. The author of the article (Dave Burdick) noted when movies are available on Netflix's "Watch Instantly" feature, which is just about the greenest way to rent a movie. No shipping, no driving!

If you have favorites that aren't on this list - let us know! (feel free to add your movie review)

One last thing -- if you are in the mood to see something environmental on the big screen today, Disney is planting a tree for every ticket bought to "Earth." (Which I think looks like a great movie - for the whole family)!
