Leonardo DiCaprio's Interview with Robert Capps for Wired


Robert Capps interview with actor Leonardo DiCaprio for Wired is an entertaining and important read. Find out more about harsh weather conditions during the filming of his latest film "The Revenant" (2015), DiCaprio's close encounter with a shark when diving in South Africa, and his passionate work for the environment.


I once was talking to Naomi Klein, who to me is one of the most powerful voices in the climate movement. She wrote a book called This Changes Everything, and it's about capitalism versus the environment. And look, everyone loves money, I love money—we live in the United States. This is a capitalist country. But ultimately we've locked ourselves, through capitalism, into an addiction to oil that's incredibly hard to reverse. I'm making a documentary about this, and I asked Naomi to give me something I could say that would help people understand what they need to do. She told me there isn't one thing that an individual can do. That whole greenwashing movement, buying a hybrid (which of course can't hurt), recycling, this and that, it's not going to cut it. This needs to be a massive movement on a global scale. And it needs to happen now. This year, 2015, is going to be the year people look back on and say we either made the right choices or we didn't.
