30. Green Medicine

July 1, 2014

Words like Naturopath and other less traditional terms to describe the healing process once were shunned by modern medicine and the general public. Today they are much more common and accepted. Procedures like acupuncture are prescribed by doctors routinely nowadays.

29. Organic Cooking

July 1, 2014

There's nothing boring about organic cuisine anymore! Bland and dull are not words used to describe the food at places like Flying Lotus Caf©. This trend has to start up the stream a little further, which is where food giant like Sysco comes in. We find out what restaurants are looking for in the organic arena straight from the source.

The Gowanus Canal that runs through Brooklyn New York where you'd think twice if you wanted a dip on a hot day.

25. Waterways Superfund Part #1

July 1, 2014

Cities around the United States grew up around the great arterial waterways. In the West, the Columbia and Willamette have seen 150 years of commerce and change and unfortunately have paid the price of the industrial revolution. It's not the water so much as the sediment on the bottom where PCB's and other toxins are threatening fish and other wildlife.

24. Sustainable Forestry

July 1, 2014

Growing trees is not totally the job of Mother Nature anymore! Making sure logging doesn't tax future growth too much is an ever more increasingly important task. Using a relatively new high tech invention, the helicopter, to harvest hasn't been around that long but offers an interesting alternative to logging. We look at growing, managing and cutting of the new sustainable forest.

23. Sustainable Fisheries

Can you run a car on basically water? Yes you can. However that's not the most common use. Utilizing this technology takes a little know how. We go to Clackamas County Community College to see a car that runs on basically water as well as talk to scientist types who are looking to the future.

17. Home Recycling

July 1, 2014

Keeping aluminum cans out of the trash is how a lot of us were raised to recycle. Today nearly everything we buy, use and throw away can be recycled in some form. Its not always easy but the ways in which companies are making recycling products is down right fascinating...we will take a look.

16. Water Systems

July 1, 2014

We all need it and its much less common than you might think. The earth has plenty of water but only a small fraction of it is fresh and clean.

Rebuilding old homes isn't new but in this country it isn't nearly as common as in places like Europe. Keeping the basic structure in tact isn't just more economical but it also helps keep history alive. Not just homes but all sorts of things are being re-tasked over buying new.

12. Green Building

July 1, 2014

Trends these days are to not build homes and buildings to code but to standards that are much more efficient. Windows, doors, insulation, heating, cooling and even the countertops in some kitchens are more efficient and made with less and less toxic methods. We will be visiting one of the most efficient homes on the planet and one of the first Leed Platinum office buildings in the US.

6. Geothermal Energy

July 1, 2014

All of us have seen a hot spring or an active volcano but finding new and creative ways to utilize this energy hasn't been easy. Now you can not only heat your home but use it to turn the lights on too. We visit Bottle Rock Power Plant in The Geysers California. Here they drill and harness the heat and steam from the earth on a scale hard to believe.

5. Solar Revisited

July 1, 2014

Previously we looked at the different types of solar and where the technology and trends are taking us. Now we will look at how solar is much more widely accepted and used.

2. Waste to Energy

July 1, 2014

Marion County Environmental Services oversees the operation of one of the most successful recycling and energy programs in the United States. Curbside collection, sorting, waste incineration which in turn generates electricity...these folks have it nailed. We get to see all steps and get involved in the process.
