CBC The Nature of Things Vol 1 Visions of the Future 5 of 5 – Earth Energy (2009)
The Nature of Things with David Suzuki, one of the most popular and intriguing Canadian television shows of all time, released to DVD on April 21, 2009.
These outstanding documentaries focus on what is being done – and what we can do – to change the way we live and the way we think about the future of our world. You’ll learn about solutions aimed at reducing our impact on the environment, helping to create a sustainable future.
Timed to coincide with Earth Day, the first installment of the Nature of Things DVDs will lead the way for future collections to include themes of Food Production, The Senses, Life Science and Around the World.
Since 1960, The Nature of Things has informed the Canadian public on the issues, achievements, wonders and dangers of our changing world.
And from the outset, the series has explored the growing threats to the health and well being of our bodies, society and the planet, and has set out not just to report on what’s wrong, but to find solutions.
The 2-disc set includes:
1. The Suzuki Diaries
2. Supercar: Building the Car of the Future
3. Living City: A Critical Guide
4. Build Green
5. Earth Energy
Earth Energy:
Sculptor, aviator, inventor, and filmmaker Bill Lishman documents his journey around the globe in search of earth’s renewable energy.
In Niagara, he discovers our rich history of hydroelectric production. His travels continue as he explores the world’s largest solar collector power plant in the Mojave dessert. In Iceland, geo-thermal energy literally shoots out of the ground. And Bill is blown away in Denmark where they produce 25% of their electricity with wind turbines.
