Episode Synopsis

theGreenScreen.tv is a weekly broadcast about climate change solutions that save. Host Bill Rogers tells how the Now or Never Project became Bald Guy on Climate Change and then theGreenScreen.tv and how all are spurred by the idea that the solutions to our carbon-coated culture are all around us. The theme of this opening episode is snow and ice with segments from America's smallest "ski resort" – the mighty Powderhouse Hill of South Berwick, Maine and how a single rope can bring a community together. A joint photovoltaic, hot water solar installation by ReVision Energy in Rollinsford, NH that goes up during a snow storm showing how the sun can energize us even in the heart of winter, and making a homeowner's dream come true. Ice Scientist Cameron Wake of the University of New Hampshire plays on the ice that he studies, too and shows us how climate change threatens the games we love to play in winter. Cam joins with sustainable clothing maker, Earthtec and Athletes for a Fit Planet for the New England Pond Hockey Classic on Lake Winnipesaukee and as he waits for his game to begin he tells us what the ice reveals; that climate change has already shortened the days ice covers New Hampshire's largest lake.
