Laurie David,
wife of the legendary Larry David who was the creator and writer
for Jerry Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm
is devoted to
stopping global warming. She has recently launched the
Stop Global Warming Virtual March with Senator
John McCain and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. that is engaging religious
leaders, labor unions, business leaders, elected officials from
all sides of the aisle, and every day Americans to urge the United
States to address the ticking time bomb that is global warming.
In addition to the Stop Global Warming
Virtual March, David is producing several other projects that will
help to bring the issue of global warming into mainstream popular
culture -- including executive producing the comedy special,
"Earth to America!" for TBS, the first cause oriented primetime
special in a decade, which aired November 20, 2005, and a HBO
feature documentary called "Too Hot Not to Handle" on the effects
of global warming in the United States, airing on Earth Day, April
22, 2006. She has also appeared this year on Oprah, the Fox News
special "The Heat is On," Good Morning America and Nightline.
In 2003, David was honored by Robert F.
Kennedy Jr.'s Riverkeeper organization. When presenting her with
the award, Kennedy referred to Ms. David as his "environmental
hero." That same year, she was also honored by Los Angeles'
Children's Nature Institute for her commitment to the
