Interface’s Anderson in DiCaprio Documentary

Los Angeles, CA, August 10, 2007--Ray Anderson’s distinctive Southern voice can be heard in the trailer for the 11th Hour, the new documentary film on the environment by Leonardo DiCaprio, which premiered last night at the Arc Light Theatre in Los Angeles.

Ray joins a group of 52 experts selected by DiCaprio and producers Leila Conners Petersen and Nadia Conners of Tree Media in the feature length documentary about human behavior and its impact on the environment.

 

At the premiere in Hollywood, DiCaprio, Anderson and others walked a ‘green’ carpet provided by Bentley Prince Street, an Interface company, which recently launched its Kings Road commercial carpet, with 100% recycled yarn content.  Kings RoadRC is made with post-industrial type 6,6 reclaimed nylon fiber recovered from automotive part scrap waste.

 

“I have experienced firsthand Leonardo DiCaprio’s personal commitment to activism on behalf of our planet, and I am moved by the spirit of action he is creating around the film,” Anderson said.

 

Opening in Los Angeles and New York on August 17 and in other cities August 24, DiCaprio has said that he hopes the film will help create a grassroots movement of support for, and action on behalf of, the environment.

 ““With the onset of global warming and other catastrophic events, environmentalism has become a broader unifying human issue,” said DiCaprio. “We as citizens, leaders, consumers and voters have the opportunity to help integrate ecology into every day living standards.”
