Sir Richard Branson and Jason Mraz [...]

Backed by inspiring music, Harrison Ford is supporting and voicing a new campaign called “Team Earth”. The 67-year-old actor is a long-time conservationist and last summer, at the height of the Indiana Jones 4 media blitz, waxed a portion of his chest to highlight deforestation. For this new effort, Ford is once more promoting preservation [...]

The 90-second clip features all of the participants standing next to — or holding — a computer-animated frog. “Our aim, with your help, is [...]

We polled 100 random people and found that 98.5 percent of them prefer peace over violence. Okay, we didn’t REALLY pole 100 people, but I’m guessing – just guessing here—that if we DID poll a hundred people at least 98.5 percent of them WOULD have voted that way. Especially if Calista Flockhart was one of [...]

Hundreds came out Orange County’s Laguna Beach for The Sea Change Summer Party to raise money for environmental group Oceana, and to honor Harrison Ford’s consistent work for the environment. Ford sits on many boards for different environmental groups, he’s donated acreage in Wyoming for conservation, and his recent chest waxing to bring attention to deforestation is [...]

The folks over at BigThink recently conducted an interview with Harrison Ford about his work at Harvard scientist E.O. Wilson’s Biodiversity Foundation. The organization works to preserve biological diversity in the living environment through innovative business and educational strategies.

Harrison Ford surprised schoolchildren on a trip to Washington’s National Zoo, by appearing with members from the World Bank to officially launch a new global effort to save tigers from extinction.

The Indiana Jones star has joined forces with the U.S. State Department and the organization WildAid to draw attention to the campaign — and to encourage people not to buy endangered [...]

How many different ways can we show Harrison Ford getting his chest waxed? Well, the media is making it easy for us — especially with Access Hollywood crashing the party a couple weeks ago.
Anyways, apparently Ford did the stunt to create a new PSA for Conservation International (of which he is Vice-Chairman). This one is [...]
