Green Technology DVD Set

Renewable Energy DVD

As fossil fuels become more scarce and expensive, there is greater emphasis on finding renewable resources. What is being done to harness natural power and potential? Can any emerging technology be utilized on a wide scale in the near future? Explore thes

• Which politicians are trying to spearhead renewable resource development and implementation?
• What can replace oil and other fossil fuels?
• See experimental and well-tested methods for harnessing renewable power.

Oil is becoming more expensive and more scarce. Its diminishing quantity affects millions on a personal and industrial level. Without oil and other fossil fuels many industries will shut down completely. What can be done?

MODERN MARVELS® speaks with the men and women that are attempting to answer that question. Rather than looking at other finite resources, there is new emphasis on researching renewable power sources. These resources are not only readily available, but cause less damage to the environment than their fossil counterparts.

Discover how air, water, and fire are being harnessed. See what is happening with solar, geothermal, and tidal power. From tried-and-true methods to those in the experimental stage, discover which ones may be utilized on a mass scale in the near future. Meet the scientists, politicians, and engineers that are at the forefront of research, development, and implementation. Learn what may be in store for the rest of the 21st Century.

Environmental Tech DVD

Going "green" is more than a fad. Green technologies are at the forefront of scientific research. They may tackle some of the most daunting challenges facing the world. See how scientists are attempting to deal with global warming, deforestation,

• See how algae is converted into fuel.
• What is carbon sequestration and bioremediation?
• Find out which "green" technologies are most likely to be used on a wide scale.

Carbon sequestration. Bioremediation. They are not just experimental processes. These "green" technologies and others like it are at the cutting edge of science and research. Their use may solve some of the most daunting problems facing the world today.

Hear from scientists and experts on their attempts solve global warming and deforestation. Learn what is being done to dispose of nuclear waste. Find out how we can supplement our diminishing natural resources. Experimental technologies like converting blue-green algaie into biofuel are discussed. See how natural environments are being used as engineering materials to prevent floods.

MODERN MARVELS® delves into a scientific field that is becoming more important in the 21st Century. Meet some of the people attempting to preserve the planet through science.
