Climate change is the largest environmental threat we have ever encountered and it is imperative to make necessary changes now to preserve our earth for future generations. Sustainable Film and Television Producer, Antonio Saillant has recently launched, Rock It Green Radio making it possible for people to share their stories with others across the country. Saillant hopes to unite people all over the world to fight for the protection of our planet and ensure that we defeat Climate Change by spreading awareness through social media.


Saillant, along with co-host Richard Solomon of Rock It Green Radio, recently interviewed documentary filmmaker Linder Booker, alerting the world about another disturbing environmental fact. In the United States, million straws are used each year and many end up in our oceans, which devastate sea life. Linda Booker's recent film, "Straws" addresses this important issue that does not receive attention in the main stream media.
Planet savers, Carter Ries [15.5] and Olivia Ries [14] contacted Rock It Green Radio to further their cause by spreading a valuable environmental message of hope.


Following the adoption of Cheetahs in South Africa, Carter and Olivia began to question why people would adopt wild animals like the cheetah. Carter and Olivia soon learned of the pressing issues surrounding endangered species, and knew they had to act. With the help of their father Jim Ries, Carter and Olivia Ries founded Atlanta, Georgia-based non-profit One More Generation ' back in 2009 when they were 8.5 and 7 years old. Carter and Olivia have now become world renowned for their work on plastic pollution education and animal conservation and have recently celebrated their 7th anniversary on September 9, 2016.


Olivia and Carter Ries are dedicated to helping endangered species and the environment. They might be young but they have traveled all over the world spreading their message. They've given dozens of speeches at schools and colleges. They've been interviewed on national television, participated in marches and fundraisers and won awards for their work. They even were invited to Vietnam by the United States Embassy to participate in a program to save rhinos. All that they've accomplished for animals and the environment is much too long to list!
They are both extremely passionate about animals and conservation.


If that wasn't enough Olivia and her brother Carter launched a global "OneLessStraw Pledge Campaign." They realized reducing our plastic footprint could be very easy to do; we just need to say 'NO' to single-use plastics such as straws. The campaign has three phases and will be outlined exclusively on Rock It Green Radio. Their mission is to empower youth around the world to stand up and help create solutions for the pressing environmental issues of today.
Rock It Green, spreading awareness is our global mission. Please Tune In on November 3, 2016 as Rock It Green Radio, speaks with Olivia and Carter Ries about their mission and The Future of Our Planet.
