本集「綠色」節目在探討替代能源(照片來源:Sundance Channel網站)日舞頻道(Sundance Channel)是美國第一個針對環境議題定期製作相關節目的電視台,4月17日勞勃‧瑞福將為觀眾獻上環保節目「綠色」(The Green),首播內容為13集的原創影集「小星球的大思維」。

接下來每一集都有不同的綠色主題,特別針對一些可能改變日常生活的創新人物,或新發明,包括科學家、時尚設計師、產品設計師和企業主,創意新鮮人。

在「綠色」3個小時的節目中,涵蓋了影集和紀錄片,以生態和綠色生活觀念,闡述人類在追求自身需求時,仍有責任維繫地球資源平衡。每一集「小星球的大思維」會搭配一齣主題互補的紀錄片,在晚上9點半首播。

舉例來說,第一集主題在探討替代能源,節目中介紹蔬菜油動力系統公司創辦人、替代能源迷吳爾夫(Joel Woolf),用他的蔬菜油卡車參加炸雞派對的賽車比賽;還有一位開著生質柴油車的時尚女性,跟開柴油汽車的男人在公路上賽車較勁;以及印地500賽車車手在佛州戴達頓(Daytona)海灘測試其團隊乙醇車的實況。

繼「綠色」之後的下一個節目是「殘酷的覺醒——石油衝擊」電視首映,將回顧和展望全球油田的景況,該片由蓋普克(Basil Gelpke)和麥考密克(Ray McCormack)執導,在穿插著新聞畫面訪談紀錄和稱頌石油的卡通畫面中,鋪陳出核心問題:倘若眾人深信的石油世紀上半葉已然結束,那麼,在能源將竭的下半場,又將是何種景況?

Sundance Channel and Robert Redford Present "THE GREEN"
NEW YORK, New York, March 23, 2007 (ENS)

The Sundance Channel has become the first television network in the United States to establish a major, regularly scheduled programming destination dedicated entirely to the environment. On April 17, Robert Redford will present the environmental programming initiative called "THE GREEN" starting with a 13 part original series "Big Ideas for a Small Planet."

Each episode revolves around a different green theme as it spotlights an innovator or innovation that has the potential to transform everyday living. The people profiled range from scientists to fashion and product designers, entrepreneurs to first-time inventors.

Consisting of three hours of programming, "THE GREEN" will present original series and documentary premieres about ecology and concepts of green living that balance human needs with responsible care for the planet. Each episode of "Big Ideas for a Small Planet" is paired with a thematically complimentary documentary premiere at 9:30 pm.

For example, the debut episode of "Big Ideas for a Small Planet" explores alternative fuel sources. Joel Woolf, alternative fuel enthusiast and inventor of Veg Powered Systems, drag races his truck with the vegetable oil from a fried-chicken tailgate party, while a one-woman, bio-diesel PR campaign in Prada shoes hooks up clients with diesel cars around the country, and an Indy 500 driver tests his Team Ethanol car at Daytona.

This episode is followed by the television premiere of "Crude Awakening – The Oil Crash," a look at the past, present and future of the world’s oil reserves.

Directed by Basil Gelpke and Ray McCormack, "Crude Awakening – The Oil Crash," interweaves interviews with archival elements including news footage and cartoons extolling the wonders of oil. At the heart of the film lies the question: if the first half of the age of oil is now ending, as many believe, what will happen in the second half, when oil supplies dwindle to zero?
