Energy Thinking
8 short videos. DVD.
We take electricity for granted, but how often do we think about where it comes from, its environmental costs, or what we can do differently? We do have a choice–and this series takes us into the world of energy, from the impacts of various sources to opportunities for efficiency, to the renewable alternatives that are becoming more prevalent everyday. These short videos were derived from our award-winning GreenWorks public television series and compiled to complement the ENERGY THINKING curriculum unit, which was created by the Northeast Sustainable Energy Association (NESEA) for Pennsylvania’s Office of Environment and Ecology.

From lights and timepieces to figures and furniture, to an entire “made from recycled” home, this show is full of inspiration and ideas for those who want to give junk a second chance.
