in 1998 to raise awareness about environmental issues, will talk about the problems the planet faces and what people can do to save it. "Global warming is not only the No. 1 environmental challenge we face today, but one of the most important issues facing all of humanity," DiCaprio said in a statement on Monday.

Mountaintop removal is a radical form of coal mining in which entire mountains are literally blown up -- and it is happening here in America on a scale that is almost unimaginable. Mountaintop removal is devastating hundreds of square miles of Appalachia; polluting the headwaters of rivers that provide drinking water to millions of Americans; and destroying a distinctly American culture that has endured for generations. Please take a moment to learn more about mountaintop removal mining -- and then join us by taking action to stop it.

Trees for Life
Every year, weather and fire batter the arid coast of Southern California, taking down millions of oxygen-producing trees. Since 2001, actor Leonardo DiCaprio has supported TreePeople, a 31-year-old nonprofit that focuses on water and energy conservation, flood prevention, storm-water pollution and trees -- the group has planted nearly two million of them. DiCaprio's own foundation purchases tree dedications to honor friends and colleagues, and encourages his fans to donate to TreePeople's mountain reforestation efforts in areas destroyed by the 2003 fires.
