Outspoken enviro Edward Norton talks about the fight to take solar energy mainstream, what makes a good green movie, and "Trippin'" with fellow eco-warrior Cameron Diaz.
"I understand that your dad is director of a Nature Conservancy project in China, and both of your siblings are involved in environmental work.
My father has been in China for five years directing the Nature Conservancy's Yunnan Great Rivers conservation project. Growing up, he was a big outdoor enthusiast, and head of public policy for the Wilderness Society in the '80s fighting all of those battles against James Watt. He engaged me and my siblings in environmental policy from a very early age. My sister got her graduate degree at the Monterey Institute of International Studies in environmental policy. My brother is a professional guide and has run white-water trips through the Grand Canyon and elsewhere many, many times. He's on the board of Idaho Rivers United and working very hard on the salmon-recovery issue up in Idaho. So we're all involved in different aspects of these issues."
