"They never really think of it like being cool or in the frontline of pop culture." And so Moenks turned his talents to change all of that. His new multimedia platform and coffee-table book, I Am Eco-Warrior: Portraits from the Front Lines of the Sustainability Revolution, seeks to answer the question "How can I stylize a movement -- the environmental movement -- and make it interesting?" "I didn't want to depict them as tree-huggers," Moenks said. Instead we see ECO-warriors like Ted Turner, Jeffrey Sachs, Stella McCartney, Sir Richard Branson, David de Rothshild, Jane Goodall, Michael Bloomberg and many more. Transcript -- Roger Moenks: Right now or in the past people always think of environment being granola or hippyish or even snobbish. But they never really think of it like being cool or in the frontline of pop culture. How can I stylize a movement, an environmental movement and make it interesting. So this is really what I wanted to do is to create a new -- a rebranding of the environmental movement using innovative global thinkers and stylize them in their homes. But very often the photo drives you to read the story behind it. So if you look at a picture and you find it attractive you're going to read about it. So it is just another way trying to raise awareness and have people take a step back and actually try to learn about somebody. And in Eco-Warrior there are 53 innovative thinkers are represented with long interviews and their photos. And I personally think it's a blueprint of what anybody can take out of it to make better decisions in their own life. It was important for me to find iconic people for this project because I think having the community that is extremely involved in the environment and environmental concerns be part of a project like I Am Eco-Warrior makes it authentic. And I went to very specific people like Ted Turner and Howard Buffet and Mayor Bloomberg and I asked them could you, would you mind me taking a photo of you and doing an interview with you to raise awareness and to bring environment into pop culture and make it sexy and cool. And I think that's really exciting because you're using the power of imagery to raise awareness. It always comes back to, you know, what do you want to do with a specific project or a specific image. And images have moved the world. I personally think it's individuals, big thinkers, that start the chain, the domino effect. And we have to support these people so they can get to work and keep on raising the awareness and push corporations, governments, society at large to make better decisions.

Environmentalists say this gas boon threatens water supplies and pollutes air. Now, as fracking expands around the world, so does growing resistance. Earth Focus looks at three countries on the new fracking frontline: South Africa, Poland, and the UK. Reported from South Africa by Jeff Barbee and Andrew Wasley (The Ecologist) from Poland and the UK. Watch more at http://www.linktv.org/earthfocus. Apr 16, 2013 3:03 PM

Dr. Jeffrey Brenner is a local physician who some believe might have the model to solve one of America's most intractable problems: lowering the cost of health care. While analyzing medical billing data in Camden, N.J., he mapped out "hot spots" of the impoverished city's high-cost patients. By targeting unique care -- including home visits and social workers -- at the city's most costly patients, he developed a program that he argues has both lowered health care costs and provided better care in Camden. But can his model work for the rest of the nation? Dr. Brenner's organization, the Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers (http://www.camdenhealth.org/about/history/), and other similar models were the subject of a January 2011 feature in The New Yorker by journalist and physician Dr. Atul Gawande (http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/01/24/110124fa_fact_gawande?currentPage­=all) User: spam_vigilante Aug 4, 2011 4:29 AM

They've been convinced that these programs are only targeted at suspected terrorists.

The drugs can cause serious side effects, and virtually nothing is known about their long-term impact. "It's really to some extent an experiment, trying medications in these children of this age," child psychiatrist Dr. Patrick Bacon tells FRONTLINE. "It's a gamble. And I tell parents there's no way to know what's going to work." User: spam_vigilante Aug 19, 2008 4:57 AM
