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.

From Bay to PA
30 minutes. DVD.
Join the GreenTreks team on an inspirational voyage of discovery to the Chesapeake, one of the nation’s most beloved waterways, and celebrate its natural beauty through the eyes of those who are dedicated to helping it thrive.
Venture from the small community on Smith’s Island that relies on the Bay’s waters for livelihood and meet the former waterman whose stories help children appreciate the important role the “great shellfish bay” has played for generation of local residents. Explore the impacts distant dairy operations can have on the resource rich Bay and learn what farmers are doing to minimize adverse effects. Travel hundreds of miles upstream to meet a high school student who is cleaning up streams acidified by drainage from abandoned mines. Observe the beauty of the Chesapeake and the challenges it faces. And leave with a message of hope: By working together, individuals can make a difference, one farm, one stream, one community at a time.

Powered by the Sun: Solar Decathlon

With a special focus on the inner city townhouse created by the team from Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Mellon University, this program shows that innovative, energy efficient homes are not far off fantasies of the future, but are in existence today.
