"If I can't get there on my roller-blades, then I carpool or take the bus."

People don't realize how much money they can save by not having a car here in LA, with the intricate bus and rail system. It takes an hour to get there by bus or by car.

Now that's dedication. Just like Tree Media interns, who plan on going green to The 11th Hour when it opens in theaters this Friday.

For the last four years, Metro Motion, airs a series of 30-minute television shows on 14 cable television channels in Los Angeles including Santa Monica City TV Channel 16, where it airs daily:
