[edit] Description
The film prompts people everywhere to stop their environmentally destructive habits to find alternatives. Harrelson talks to large groups of people about carbon emissions, artificial and junk food, and other things. They meet an entrepreneur who owns a paper mill that does not harm trees, an eco-friendly farmer, and a man who teaches environmental activists to use humor to reach people. The film promotes Harrelson's idea that the key to change starts with a small, personal effort.
[edit] Book
The film also triggered the writing of a book, entitled Go Further. The book's ideologies and themes parallel the movie.
