The film "Our Tomorrows, Today: Wahbung 1971" premiered in 2017. It explores the historic 1971 Wahbung document, a pivotal First Nations response to the 1969 White Paper. Wahbung asserted the right to self-determination, emerging from Manitoba's First Nations' rejection of the controversial policy. The documentary highlights this influential paper's role as a catalyst for self-determination. Its premiere was attended by original contributors, including the Women of Wahbung and Dave Courchene Jr.

Fishing gear designed to catch popular fish poses a significant threat to sea turtle survival, particularly the critically endangered Kemp's Ridley species.

In June 2015, Lauren Conrad joined Oceana at Mexico's Rancho Nuevo Sea Turtle Sanctuary, a vital nesting site. With assistance from CONANP, they patrolled beaches and released hatchlings into the Gulf of Mexico. Conrad now supports Oceana's campaign, urging the U.S. government to protect endangered sea turtles from the southeast shrimp trawl fishery.

JP Viñals joined Activists Coming To Inform Our Neighborhood (ACTION) in 2013 to address environmental and social issues in Hunts Point, South Bronx. The neighborhood, home to New York's largest food distribution center, endures 15,000 daily trucks, causing severe air pollution and some of the nation's highest asthma rates.

As ACTION's president, Viñals focused on transforming the defunct 1.25-mile Sheridan Expressway into a vibrant boulevard. This expressway restricts access to the Bronx River and green spaces, forcing heavy truck traffic onto local streets, harming residents and contributing to pollution. ACTION supports a broader campaign to replace it with housing, hospitals, and green areas, leading school presentations and community education efforts.

The "Adventures of Donny Rico" series exposes Chevron's threat to society. Episode #3, "Legal Tender," details the unethical tactics of Chevron's law firm, Gibson Dunn & Crutcher. Despite Chevron admitting to dumping toxic waste in the Amazon, Gibson Dunn pursued a RICO suit against Ecuadorian victims, portraying Chevron as the victim.

The firm, criticized for "legal thuggery" and "blatant intimidation," masterminded a strategy to re-litigate the Ecuador trial. They ignored evidence, launched racist attacks, conducted "sting" operations, and allegedly paid a disgraced judge for false testimony. This turned a clear environmental crime into an "abusively litigated nightmare," demonstrating an unprecedented attack on justice.

A 2012 video by The Mending News explains REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation), an international carbon offset mechanism. It examines California's cap-and-trade system, which has a placeholder for sub-national REDD carbon credits. California's Governor's Forests and Climate Task Force explores partnerships with regions like Chiapas, Mexico, and Acre, Brazil, for these credits.

While some see California's REDD project as an international model, groups like IEN oppose its inclusion in the state's carbon trading system. The video asserts REDD credits lack environmental integrity and pose high risks to Indigenous Peoples and forest communities, citing fraud, land grabs, evictions, and human rights abuses. It concludes REDD is a deceptive solution, enabling pollution and threatening vulnerable communities and the environment.
