"Woody Harrelson Calls for Green Activism"

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) - Woody Harrelson called for more anti-oil activism at a media and technology conference Thursday, though he declined to say how far he was willing to go personally as a protester.

"In spite of the fact that there's an increase in awareness of what's going on in terms of polar ice caps melting and just global warming generally ... oil companies don't seem to be making much of a change," the 46-year-old actor said.

Harrelson was at the "Picnic" conference, which has a green theme and features a contest in which British billionaire Richard Branson will award $700,000 to the winning idea for an environmental project.

"Certainly (oil companies) just want to get as much out of the ground and make as much money as possible before they transition into anything else," Harrelson said. "So I still think it's time for some strong activism, especially as it relates to our dependency on oil."
