Ian Somerhalder & Indiana filmmaker unite for a healthier planet

Hey there, cat lovers and Earth Day heroes! It’s your favorite Kitty Correspondent, KJ from Pet Pals TV, and today is the big day—Happy Earth Day! 🌍🐾

Today, some incredible changemakers, including the passionate Ian Somerhalder and Indiana's own award-winning filmmaker Rebecca Tickell, are leading the charge with a star-studded Earth Day Watch Party! They're inviting the world to tune into their powerful documentaries, "Kiss the Ground" and "Common Ground," which shine a light on the life-saving magic of regenerative agriculture.

Ian—yep, the very same heartthrob from "The Vampire Diaries" and "Lost"—brings real heart to the cause. He’s a fierce advocate for the environment, using his platform and the Ian Somerhalder Foundation to educate and empower communities. Rebecca, alongside her husband Josh Tickell, has dedicated her filmmaking career to spotlighting climate solutions and the urgent need to heal our soil and our planet.

Rebecca shared the importance of regenerative farming: “Regeneration can stabilize climates and create climate resiliency.” And Ian passionately reminds us, “Each community is what matters.”

So how can you get involved today?

1. Watch the Films: Head over to the Common Ground website and stream both documentaries. (NOTE: The live Earth Day Watch Party date and time is April 22nd at 10am ET but the documentaries are on demand any time)

2. Share the Message: Use your voice! Share what you learn with friends, family, and your online followers. Every post plants a seed.

3. Start Small, Think Big: Support local farmers, join a community garden, or simply start composting. No step is too small when it comes to saving the Earth.

4. Watch My Interview: I had the absolute joy of sitting down with Ian and Rebecca to talk about their mission, the films, and how YOU can take meaningful action. Catch the full interview now at YouTube.com/kjtoday!
