We were watching the TV the other night, struggling for something interesting and informative to watch, when we just chanced upon back-to-back episodes of Channel 4's Grand Designs.

Wow! What a controversial title for a programme - "What the Green Movement Got Wrong"

The show is on Channel 4 tonight at 9.00pm so it's probably going to be well worth a watch, especially when the blurb on the info button says:
"A group of environmentalists are challenging the movement they helped to create, advocating radical solutions to climate change, including GM crops and nuclear energy."
What do you think about that? Watch the programme tonight on Channel 4 at 9.00pm and let us know...

UPDATE

When I switched my Sky box on the other day (at the wall socket, of course) I was greeted with a message screen that I had not seen before.

The vivid green screen that turns to red with the glassy Sky logo and a chameleon perched atop it is accompanied by the narrative:
We can all do our bit to be greener.
By switching your Sky box to standby, together, we can save enough energy to light all the homes in Birmingham for a whole year.
Remember. Go red. Be Greener.

We can all do our bit to be greener.

London, 26th January 2009: A 16 foot high sculpture of an iceberg featuring a stranded female polar bear and her baby cub was launched on the River Thames today providing Londoners with a timely reminder of the dangers of global warming.

The sculpture, which was specially commissioned to mark the launch of Eden, a new digital TV channel devoted to natural history, graphically brought to life one of the most iconic images of climate change – the melting ice caps.

BBC2 last night broadcast the first episode in the new series of It's Not Easy Being Green.

I missed the first (and second) series but have been on an economy drive recently, so staying in and watching TV has been the order of the day.

A reminder to you all to watch "How Green is your Street" tonight at 9pm on BBC2. The quick synopsis says:

"The biggest names on Britain's high streets are spending hundreds of millions of pounds trying to go green. Are they really trying to save the planet? The Money Programme investigates."

The Money Programme are always pretty objective, so it should be a good'un.
