Leonardo Advocates Environmental Protection
At the invitation of HSBC (Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation，汇丰银行) , the international superstar Leonardo DiCaprio(里奥纳度) went to Hong Kong to promote public environmental awareness. He appeared in the first release (首演) of The 11th Hour(《危机时刻》), an environmental documentary(环保纪录片) supervised and narrated by him. He emphasized the urgency of environmental protection, calling for immediate actions to protect the Earth which is in crisis.
Leonardo has set a good example by taking such actions himself, such as eating organic food, using environment-friendly products and solar energy, and driving eco-friendly cars. When asked about how to protect environment, Leonardo points out emphatically that it must be based in everyday life. “Twelve years ago,” he says, “I talked with former US Vice President Al Gore(美国前副总统戈尔) in the White House about the global warming issue (地球暖化问题) . From then on, I have realized the seriousness of environmental damage and had the idea of advocating environmental protection through films.”
During the visit, smiling Leonardo left a good impression on his fans by satisfying their demands for taking photos and shaking hands with him.

里奥纳度宣扬环保
里奥纳度应汇丰银行之邀，到香港宣扬环保。他出席了其监制及参与解说的环保纪录片《危机时刻》(The 11th Hour) 首映礼，并力陈环保的迫切性，指地球已进入危急状态，采取行动刻不容缓。
他自己更身体力行，做个环保好榜样。当被问到在生活上如何做到环保时，里奥纳一度强调环保要由最基本的做起，他吃有机食品，用环保用品，寓所用太阳能及驾驶环保车。里奥纳度说：“12年前，我已同美国前副总统戈尔在白宫倾谈地球暖化问题，当时已知祸害严重，因此触发我拍片宣扬环保。”
这次访港，里奥纳度全程总是笑容满面，对Fans要求照相、握手均有求必应，给人留下美好印象。
