Saving Us From Ourselves: Sundance Channel's "The Green"

If you would like to become more environmentally conscious but think getting started is a rather daunting task, Sundance Channel's "The Green" might be a good place to begin your quest for knowledge. Beginning tonight, April 1st, Season 2 of The Green airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. and features a block of programming centered around the concept of environmental sustainability.

The programming varies, but is anchored by the second season of "Big Ideas for a Small Planet". Tonight's episode is Power and will feature topics including the benefits of alternative energy, energy efficiency, solar power, and more. As you can see on the companion website The Green Guide, each week the website will feature an overview of the weekly program. Other topics this season will include Decorate, Water, Gen Y, Food, Fashion, Recycle, Grow, Transport, Live, Business, Gadgets, and Animals.

Even if you do not subscribe to Sundance Channel, it appears that you will be able to download the Big Ideas episodes after the airdate. The Green online includes information "focusing on the earth's ecology and concepts of green living that balance human needs with responsible care for the planet." You can also sign up to receive the Greenzine, a weekly email magazine containing environmental news.

So don't think you have to go about greening your life on your own; let Robert Redford help you!
