While watching television may not be a major part of your Earth Day plans, we do recommend you take a hour tomorrow to check out The Oprah Winfrey Show. THE GREEN’s Simran Sethi will be on to discuss how incorporating eco-friendly practices into your lifestyle can both help save the planet, and help save you money in these tough economic times. This topic isn’t just practical; it’s also one Simran’s focused on in multiple venues. Check out the interview below with The Green Collar Economy author (and Obama administration “green jobs czar”) Van Jones below for a preview of the ideas that will likely get some play tomorrow.
Of course, you can also check out Simran’s work right here at SundanceChannel.com. Her web series The Good Fight provides an inside look at environmental justice issues. You may find the segments on Greensburg, Kansas’ transformation into a green community particularly relevant, as the second anniversary of the tornado that destroyed the town is just around the corner. For more information on events marking the anniversary, check out Greensburg Greentown.
And don’t forget — if you’re watching TV tonight, don’t miss the premiere of the third season of THE GREEN.

The web team at the Sundance Channel is putting in some long hours getting The Green site ready for its third season (which launches on April 21st). Among the new web features: “H.2O,” a collection of animated shorts from artists around the world, interspersed with clips from the documentary FLOW: FOR THE LOVE OF WATER (which will also air on the 21st).
Billed as “the scariest movie at the Sundance Film Festival” by Wired, FLOW examines the world water crisis, and juxtaposes the diminishing supply of drinking water around the world with the increase in water privatization. With access to clean water shaping up as a major issue for the 21st century, this is a must-see film.
Check out “H.2O” by heading over to The Green and clicking on the button in the header (there’s also a tab directly above the video window). You can also learn more about FLOW by visiting the film’s official site. While on The Green site, check out some of the other new programming slated for this season, including ECO TRIP and CARBON COPS.
