Mike Farrell and James Cromwell on Environmentally Responsible Capitalism

The Earth Focus Environmental Film Festival marked the first film festival of its kind in Los Angeles: a weekend of films dedicated entirely to environmental issues to ignite compassion and action for helping to save and heal our planet. In attendance were "M*A*S*H" actor Mike Farrel and Academy Award-winning actor James Oliver Cromwell, who shared their thoughts on what the current state of capitalism means for the environment.

"What we're not seeing is responsible capitalism," Farrell says. "We're seeing 'eat-your-neighbor' capitalism."
