Environmental awareness television continues once again this Tuesday with The Green on the Sundance Channel. The night will kick-off at 9pm with the second episode of Outrageous Wasters, followed by Garbage Warrior and ending the night with the great series It's Not Easy Being Green.
This week on Outrageous Wasters the affluent Buchanan family of four will be forced to discover "the carbon impact of their culinary ways", and find out the waste involved with the use of their enormous spa bathtub. The experiences that the Buchanans undergo as they understand the full scope of their energy waste have given the family "food for thought and a mission that involves local farms."
Garbage Warrior begins at 10:10 pm, an eco-documentary which features architect Michael Reynolds:
"[Reynolds] has spent thirty years developing radically original models of self-sustaining housing -- Earthships -- near Taos, New Mexico. Working with a crew of like-minded idealists and professionals, Reynolds has channeled his unstoppable imagination into strange yet functional dwellings that are made from garbage like old tires and beer cans. With the ingenuity and environmentally friendly techniques, this might just be our modern day utopia...once you get past the smell of burnt rubber and stale beer."
As a for the Strawbridge family, it has been 9 months since they moved to Cornwall, and "much has been done to make New House Farm self-sufficient in terms of food, water, electricity and heat." Now that the renovation budget is gone, tune in at 11:40pm for episode 8 of It's Not Easy Being Green, to find out how cost-efficient their new green lifestyle truly is.
