owned  renewable energy projects, creating sustainable economies for  communities in need and diversifying our energy supply. As  Participant founder Jeff Skoll (qv) explains: "It would be ironic,  not to mention wrong, if we added to the global warming that  Al Gore (I) (qv) warns about in his film. Plus, these renewable  energy projects offer options that will decrease our demand for  fossil fuels and otherwise would likely not happen without these  kinds of investments." Participant, NativeEnergy and Warner Bros.  partnered in a similar way on Stephen Gaghan (qv)s film,  _Syriana (2005)_ (qv), where 100% of the carbon dioxide emissions  generated by the production were translated into investments into  renewable energy. This follows on from the first "carbon neutral"  film _Day After Tomorrow, The (2004)_ (qv), which director  Roland Emmerich (qv) paid for out of his own pocket.
