This Tuesday, September 23rd, on the Sundance Channel, the Green night of programming will consist of two different episodes of Big Ideas for a Small Planet. The first episode, which will air at 9pm, is entitled "Power." "This episode explores the booming field of alternative energy as it introduces several individuals who are working to develop clean, renewable energy from resources both well-known and left-field. In Washington D.C., we meet a team from Texas A&M University who are participating in the Solar Decathlon, a competition to build a fully functional home on the Washington Mall."


An all new U.S television premiere will air at 9:35pm, entitled The Planet. It was directed by Michael Stenberg, Johan Soderberg and Linus Torell. "This ambitious film delivers a comprehensive look at the earth as a system of interconnected elements-land, water, flora, fauna, etc.- on the brink of cataclysmic change. Filmed in over 25 countries, The Planet surveys how human beings have transformed the surface of the earth; startling images capture everything from sprawling recycling dumps in China, to the check-by-jowl proximity of African cities to wild animal habitats, to the dramatic deforestation of the Amazon rainforest."


The second episode of Big Ideas for a Small Planet for the night will air at 11:05pm and is entitled "Business," which explains how "corporations have begun embracing green business practices as beneficial to their bottom lines, productivity and consumer profiles. This episode visits four companies of varying size, all of them leaders of the eco vanguard."
