This Tuesday, August 26th, the Sundance Channel will be hosting another night of "Prime Time for the Planet" with their Green programming. At 9pm, the fifth episode of It's Not Easy Being Green will air:


"At the New House Farm, James recruits his friends and his sister Charlotte to help dig a new pond to attract more wildlife - and give the family's ducklings their own home. In East London, Jim tackles the challenge of hooking up Andrew's backyard solar system to the house's hot water tank, paving the way for the two-day installation process. Team Strawbridge wraps up work at the Whittle home, and heads back to New House Farm, where the Strawbridge family ducklings take the plunge into their new pond."


Everything's Cool, airing at 9:35pm, is directed by Daniel B. Gold and Judith Helfand:


"Mixing humor with urgency, Gold and Helfand (Blue Vinyl) profile the small group of global warming messengers who continue to prod a largely apathetic public into political activism. Looking for the perfect image or the most effective language, these modern-day Paul Reveres - including author Bill McKibben and Pulitzer- winning journalist Ross Gelbspan - worry that time is running out. Meanwhile, corporate spin-meisters and recalcitrant politicians continue to obscure scientists' warnings."


At 11:10pm, the series Big Ideas for a Small Planet will air an episode entitled RECYCLE: "As the U.S. produces 400 million tons of garbage per year, individuals and organizations are trying to recycle everything from computers to medicine bottles and handbags, with methods both simple and sophisticated."
