Know Your Earth is a fun, engaging, and educational three-minute segment of “Did You Know” questions that all have a message that focuses on global climate change and literacy throughout the Lobby Entertainment Network in 291 national movie theaters. Know Your Earth is now being shown as part of the Lobby Entertainment Network during the summer movie blockbuster month of July 2010.
