Nova had a great episode all about solar power. They cover solar for home, large scale solar plants, and incentives for solar. Support by the German government has made solar a huge industry there. In America business is supporting solar in a big way. What does the future of solar have in store for us? Paint on solar collectors for our roofs? Is it time to take solar seriously? Find out by watching a repeat showing of this on PBS March 18th, check local listings, or watch it now online here.

Filmgoers will catch screenings of critically-acclaimed environmental films produced around the country and get information about local issues, such as protection of Fossil Creek as a Wild and Scenic River here in Arizona.

Fossil Creek is a remarkable success story, but there are many other watersheds—such as the Verde River—that are endangered by groundwater pumping for development in the Chino Valley. The Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival will inspire and motivate you to go out and make a difference for Arizona’s endangered waterways.

It’s a festival for activists, by activists. The event is organized and hosted by the Arizona Wilderness Coalition and is sponsored by Patagonia™.

Proceeds benefit the Arizona Wilderness Coalition and will be used to protect wilderness lands and waters across Arizona.
