What’s playing this week:
1. China wants a Hummer – “Cheap gas prices in China bolster SUV sales. Find out how walk-able your neighborhood is. People Cube helps offices become sustainable.”
2. Eco pirates: Swiss Enviro summer Camp – “This summer, Switzerland’s biggest ever youth environmental protection camp was held outside Bern. The week – organised by the conservation organisation pro natura – offered children from all over the country various ecological activities, boat tours and treasure hunts”
3. TPMtv: A Chat with Van Jones – “The closing keynote speaker of the Netroots Nation convention in Austin last month was environmental and social justice activist Van Jones. Following his Sunday morning speech TPMtv caught up with Mr. Jones and asked him about the perception of the environmental movement in the black community and how to alter that perception for the better in creating a full-blown eco-populism movement.”
4. TERRA 440: Gimme Green Part Two – “ From the limitless subdivisions of Florida to sod farms in the arid southwest, Gimme Green peers behind the curtain of the $40-billion industry that fuels our nation’s largest irrigated crop: the lawn.”
5. TERRA 440: Gimme Green Part One – “A humorous look at the American obsession with the residential lawn and the effects it has on our environment, our wallets and our outlook on life.”
