"When I was out on the SOL Tour, I had a lot of people tell me, 'You know Woody, you're only running around preaching to the choir.' 'Well good,' I told them, 'because if we can get all these choirs singing together with one voice, we're going to make a hell of a lot of noise.'" -Woody Harrelson, from How To Go Further There are plenty of reasons for socially and environmentally conscious people to feel discouraged these days, but Woody Harrelson wants us to know that we still have the power to change the world for the better. A few years ago, Woody and some of his closest friends including a yoga teacher, a raw food chef, and a confessed "junk food junkie" bicycled down the Pacific coast to encourage people to "walk on the earth with a lighter footprint." Called the "Simple Organic Living (SOL) Tour," the journey was recorded by acclaimed documentary filmmaker Ron Mann for what would become the hit movie, Go Further. Now, with the recent publication of his book How To Go Further: A Guide to Simple Organic Living, Woody hopes that the message of leading a happier, healthier life while using less of the world's resources will reach even more people. How To Go Further covers a wide-range of topics such as organic food, alternative energy, yoga, and activism, and features Woody's personal account of self-transformation, along with similar messages from others who were on the tour, such as Steve "Jedi" Clark (the former junk food junkie). "I believe the way I choose to live my life now," writes Woody in the book, "is more considerate, kind, and ultimately fulfilling than the way I lived in the past. When I started my transformation, I don't think I believed I could incorporate the changes I've made into my life. But I was open to the ideas and made the changes I could, in my own way and at my own paceŠ.If you look, you can find other ways to do things." The book also features stirring essays from activists such as John Schaeffer, who is the founder and president of Real Goods, a company devoted to creating alternative energy.
