Celebrate Earth Day!

Watch MNN this weekend and meet activists and scholars who are in the trenches fighting for a cleaner environment for our communities. 

Thorium Community is a program dedicated to educating viewers about safe, carbon-free technology for energy. In this discussion journalist James B. Meigs talks with nuclear scientist Dr. Stephen Boyd and poses the question, is it worth saving Indian Point, New York's nuclear power plant. Join them as they discuss what happens inside those dome containment vessels, their long term performance and how energy is generated for the NYC area. 

The Environment TV focuses on air, water, land use and solutions in relation to environmental issues. On this episode guests Meg Sheehan, Rachel Makleff, Lisa Harrison and Gilbert Sabater join host Catherine Skopic to explore mega dams and  their damage to rivers and nearby communities. They also discuss NYC’s Hudson River and Staten Island’s Clean Sweep initiative. Don’t miss it!
