Green TV Shows Airing During Earth Week
The airwaves become tinged with environmental green this week, thanks to Earth Day (April 22). Here are a few green shows I've heard about; if you know of any more, please post them in the comments section!
On the Air
Through April 29 -- Chesapeake Bay Week on PBS/MPT -- A full lineup of environmental and nature shows for kids and adults.
April 21 at 9:00-9:30 p.m. on PBS/MPT -- 'The Last Boat Out,' a documentary film about the plight of Chesapeake watermen and the Bay they depend upon. (You can attend a viewing party at Hard Times Cafe in Bethesda, too.)
April 21 at 9:00 p.m. on PBS/WETA -- 'Food, Inc.' -- A look at the seamy side of our food industry.
April 21 and weekdays at 5:30 on PBS/WETA -- 'e2 (The Economies of Being Environmentally Conscious). This series looks at 'green' urban planning and sustainable architecture. The Season 3 opener on April 21 visits Al-Azhar Park, a 74-acre oasis in congested Cairo that opened in 2005.
April 22 at 4:30 p.m. on PBS/MPT -- 'Growing Greener Schools' -- Today's focus on green building is giving us a better understanding of the potential impacts our school buildings have, not only on the environment, but on our children's - and their teachers' - health and development. Armed with this new knowledge, many school districts across the country are taking "green" to a new level. There's a free premiere viewing at the UMUC Marriott Inn in Hyattsville.
April 23 at 8:00 p.m. on PBS/MPT -- 'Chesapeake Bay by Air' -- Shot in the air from two to 2,000 feet using state-of-the-art high-definition recording gear, Chesapeake Bay by Air's unique perspective of the Chesapeake Bay marries gentle verse, prose and music with stunningly dramatic images of the Chesapeake in a way that, until now, only migrating Canada Geese could truly appreciate.
