San Clemente, CA—A new documentary, premiering on Earth Day, will give an inside look into how large corporations affect climate change, with the hope of inspiring consumers to shop smarter.

Directed by Richard Yelland,Seeding Changetakes a look at mission-based businesses that are working to fight poverty through Fair Trade job creation, protect the biodiversity of the Amazon Rainforest, and regenerate topsoil through agriculture, according to a press release. By making the choice to buy from socially responsible businesses, consumers can send a message that it’s time for environmental, social, and economic change.

"Making this film led me on an incredible journey over four years, documenting every step these companies are taking to not only minimize the effects of climate change, but also improve human life around the world," Yelland said in the press release. "You can't truly understand the milestones a mission-based business is making until you see it first-hand."
