I am sure that we all remember watching Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” in class. It was a very interesting movie, but how many times does someone want to watch the same movie, pointing out the same facts and numbers. Well, beginning this week there are going to be tv shows about “earth justice.”

Next year on cable tv, there will be a network called Discovery PlanetGreen wich is aimed at helping to educate people on living a green lifestyle. “The Green” on the Sundance Channel is going to start this Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET. It will be during primetime hours every Tuesday. It will not only cover issues facing the earth, but also solutions to these problems that humans are creating. Some topics that will be discussed include: global warming, pollution, and energy depletion. Although I am sure that they give you facts, they also take you to different towns accross the United States and do different experiments. One in particular is a race between a car fueled by vegtable oil and one that is fueled with gasoline. The gasoline powered car obviously wins the race, but the experiment proves that a vegtable oil powered car does work and is sufficient.
I think that this is a great idea. I don’t know how many people will tune in to see, but they may get some channel-surfers that become interested. I like that they are not just giving you facts, but they are going around, talking to different people, taking you to different towns, and actually showing you something (rather than just explaining it to you).

I think it’s great that television shows like “The Green” are being created. I recently began watching a program on Discovery HD called “Planet Earth.” I thought it was going to be like every other documentary I have seen, but was pleasantly surprised to see the shocking footage of plants and animals that go beyond anything I could have ever imagined. I think the more programs we have like that available to television viewers, the more likely they are to be accepted and become popular. It is a great way to educate the public about environmental issues and the beauty of our planet. I’ll have to check this show out!
