#StartWith1Thing
On Wednesday, December 2nd, Discovery will present a global broadcast of Racing Extinction, a powerful eco-thriller from Academy Award®–winning director, Louie Psihoyos. Inspired by the message in the film, #StartWith1Thing is a call-to-action to each and every one of us across the globe to make small changes in our lives that will have a huge impact on the world.
