The Sundance Channel is ready for another night of Green programming this Tuesday, August 12th beginning at 9pm. The third episode of It's Not Easy Being Green will air, where Dick meets Chris and Carla Fletcher, "rat-race refugees who have settled in Aberdeenshire, Scotland to grow their own food and raise livestock (including an unusual breed of sheep). Team Strawbridge devises some ingenious, cost-effective solutions to extend the couple's rainwater harvesting system to irrigate vegetation and provide water for chickens and livestock."


Although it is improbable the US drug policy will change, the documentary Grass, directed by Ron Mann explores the American government's 20th century crusade to vanquish marijuana: "Actor and pro-hemp activist Woody Harrelson narrates this entertaining, smartly researched documentary and advocacy film that poses serious questions about official manipulation of public opinion. Grass, which airs at 9:35 pm, looks at how pot has been vilified in past anti-drug campaigns, propaganda films and publicity crusades, which often linked marijuana use to insanity, sexual promiscuity, homicide and permanent brain damage." Regardless of your stance on the legalization of marijuana, this documentary is an interesting look at those who are for the change.


The FOOD episode of Big Ideas for a Small Planet, which airs at 11pm, explores the "different ways professionals and ordinary people are trying to change the food landscape. At New Mexico's Twin Buttes High School, students from the local Zuni tribe have rejected processed, Styrofoam-packed school lunches to grow their own organic produce on campus."
