- [Beth] Ecosexuality is a new movement of people who are shifting the metaphor from earth as mother to earth as lover.

- When we imagine earth as a mother we think the mother will take care of us, and we can just take, take, take.

Whereas the earth as a lover, you have to treat them nice or they go away.

So that's what we do.

The truth is most people get pleasure from nature.

Sensual, and, if they let themselves, erotic pleasure from nature.

# Let's get it on - And we use ecosexual walking tours-- - Theater pieces.

- [Annie] Visual art.

- Spoken word.

- Performance art.

We do a lot of the ecosex weddings as art.

- Will you practice these vows every day to become better lovers to the earth?

- At first it's jarring, but it really makes them think for a second, because when you hear something you've never heard before, you have to do a double take.

And they're proposing something ridiculous, something, like, embarrassing and ridiculous.

When you hear that, you have to look at yourself, and you have to consider why you're not an ecosexual.

- Most of us have been ecosexual all along.

And now we just have something to call it.

- I was always that kid, growing up, that would love to climb up trees and just sit there for hours.

That's what ecosexuality's about.

It's about finding your place with nature and being one with it, and being in love with it.

- You want to make your lover be as healthy as possible, rather than destroying your lover, right?

In West Virginia, there's a horrible form of coal mining called mountaintop removal, where the tops of the mountains are literally blown off with explosives.

So I made a film about mountaintop removal, because I'm from Appalachia, I'm from West Virginia.

- So we're bringing an ecosexual activism to a serious environmental problem.

We need it all.

We're trying to make the environmental movement more sexy, fun, and diverse.

Some of us don't quite fit into the Sierra Club 'cause we're a little weird.

- I think that is another element of ecosexuality.

In terms of giving us a fun, joyful relation to activism and to involvement in this growing movement that has to be, if it's going to be successful, a movement of movements.

- You can say, look at this part of the world, and it's so sad, and we're gonna all together, we're just gonna have a big cry about how much it all stinks, or you can say, there's some things that we want you to be aware of, and let's go have some fun.

Maybe we'll get naked or run in the dirt.

# Where did you come from # baby - Tree hugging is just an environmental organization slogan.

And they're being coy.

What happens after the hugging?

Hugging happens at the beginning of an 87-step journey.

And let's go, let's go the whole 87 yards because stopping at hugging is what we've been doing and that hasn't been working.

# Makin' love to me # I believe in miracles - Oh, little daisies, you're very sexy.

- Mm, I like your colors.
