Serenity Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 (edited) According to Yahoo.com, Orlando will be on the Executive Commitee for The Harmony Project, set to launch at the Sundance Film Festival this weekend. Article in full here. The Harmony Project Launch Party at the Sundance Film Festival [will be held] on Sunday, January 20th, 2008. *snip* The Harmony project is a multi-stage undertaking designed to bring the brightest minds of the scientific community together with the most successful and respected members of the filmmaking, literary and new media community. The goal being to create media for wide audiences with targeted social and environmental messages embedded. The Harmony Project will focus on dispelling misinformation and will base all messages on good science. It is extremely unique in that it will be highly exclusive in nature and focus on influencing the influencers. Founder John Johnson has put together an executive committee for the Harmony Project, which includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones, Orlando Bloom, Ridley Scott, Giannina Facio, Penelope Cruz, Arianna Huffington, Kelley Meyer, and Ted Hope, among many other notables in the science and film community. You can view the Sundance Film Festival Schedule of Events here: at the Variety Magazine's website. Edited January 29, 2008 by Serenity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshwoman Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Serenity, thanks for the links. As always, Orlando is right in there, giving his all. Quoting from the first link: ABOUT GREENHOUSE ECO-CLEANING LLC A full service eco-friendly lifestyle and residential cleaning company for the past two years, Greenhouse Eco-Cleaning has made it our goal to help a discerning clientele achieve a healthier way of living. This has been made possible through the utilization of all natural aromatherapy base cleaning products, the reuse/recycle program and holistic eco-consultants. We began to market ourselves during the rise of two hot trends: rising personal health and environmental concerns, combined with the mass luxury movement. . There's more to the paragraph but I'll stop there. I don't think hubby and I are part of the "mass luxury movement." But we're all for a healthier way of living and that includes the use of appropriate cleaning products. Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenna Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Agreed Welshwoman I am not in the mass luxury market either! But for those of us who want to try to make a difference there are many good afforable "green" products out there.Melaleuca, Good Earth, Seventh Generation etc. Proud of Orland for his role. glenna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geri Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 The Harmony Project will focus on dispelling misinformation and will base all messages on good science. Now that's something I'd like to see. Hey, Graphic Design is considered "new media", right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Thank you Serenity for bringing this over! I was pleased to read about Orlando being on the Executive Committee for this project and I hope it is successful. And once again Orlando proves how he cares about the world around him, whether its the environment or helping people especially children in need.

desertflorece Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Thanks, Serenity, for passing this along. This seems to be an opportunity for Orlando to be on the 'ground-level' of an organization that supports two things he's passionate about: the environment and the movie industry. Kudos to all involved. Lisa Q And on a more shameless note: photop!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinemapersians Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I'm happy to see Orlando is being considered as one of the "notables in the science and film community". This is perfect for him, not only as a positive career move, but as a supporter for something he is so passionate about, the environment. It doesn't surprise me a bit that he is a part of this worthy project. Why do I keep thinking road trip? Thanks, Serenity! - Pam - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Elspeth Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Thanks so much for passing this along to us! I've always thought highly of Orlando for his environmental, humanitarian, and animal rights work. This is just one more example of his kind heart and how he uses his position in life to better the world around him and encourage others to do the same. What a wonderful person.
