Episode 1 • Nov 21, 2009
Turning a Green Leaf
Turning A Green Leaf follows the McMillin family of Halifax during a two month period as they attempt to reduce their food carbon footprint - but without changing their diets, giving up their favorite foods, or spending more money. The McMillin family learn where their food comes from by shopping at the Halifax Farmers' Market and visiting several farms in the Annapolis Valley. They receive tips from the Ecology Action Centre about how to calculate their food miles and are pleasantly surprised to learn that they were able to reduce their food carbon footprint by 2/3. Turning A Green Leaf taps into the surging interest amongst consumers in buying locally produced food and demonstrates that you don't need to spend a fortune, radically change your diet, or give up your favorite foods to significantly help out the environment.
Episode 2 • Nov 06, 2010
Concordia: Tall Ship Down
On February 17th 2010, the Nova Scotia based tall ship Concordia sank 550 km off the coast of Brazil. There were a total of 64 crew and students aboard. Off the coast of Brazil they were knocked down by high winds - which the crew ascribed to a rare meteorological phenomena known as a micro-burst. The ship sank completely beneath the waves within 20 minutes. The next 30 hours were spent in life rafts unsure if rescue officials knew about their situation and waiting to be rescued. Due to their thorough safety training, strong leadership, and teamwork, everyone made it home safely. The documentary is told from the perspective of the students and the crew and describes what it's like to be aboard a tall ship that unexpectedly sinks, the nerve wracking wait to be rescued, and the impact that it has on a person's outlook on life.
Episode 3 • Jan 08, 2011
Algae: The Future of Fuel
Algae: The Future of Fuel is a half hour documentary about the global search to develop renewable energy from an unlikely source: algae. The film explores the ground-breaking research being done by the National Research Council in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Perhaps algae fuel is not such a far-fetched idea - it's the same as the crude oil we already use today - it just hasn't been aged for a few million years. This documentary is about looking for a viable alternative to conventional oil. Is there an inexhaustible supply that could be produced anywhere in the world? Could burning actually be a part of the solution to global warming? Production of this unlikely green fuel source could put Atlantic Canada in the renewable energy big leagues.
