Sun & Earth on Sundance Channel Award Winning Eco Series "Big Ideas For A Small Planet"

For Immediate Release

New York, NY – June 21, 2009 – Sundance Channel will premiere season three of the award-winning original eco-series “Big Ideas for a Small Planet” beginning August 4^th, 2009 at 8:00pm e/p. The 13-part series airs as part of THE GREEN, Sundance Channel’s weekly primetime destination devoted to environmental programming. The series is produced by Scout Productions.

Big Ideas for a Small Planet, the seminal documentary series on Sundance Channel and one of the first programs developed for THE GREEN, continues to be on the forefront of the discovery and discussion of green design, innovation, and process. Each week, a different green theme comes into focus through the work of three specific forward-thinking innovators -- from scientists to product and fashion designers; from entrepreneurs to first-time inventors -- inspiring audiences to incorporate green thinking and practices into all facets of their daily lives. It asks audiences to imagine a world in which we eat, build, and raise our children green, but this season it expands its scope to address communities, animals, and art, as well as sports, music, and greener ways to relax.

Catch Sun & Earth on Tuesday, September 22 at 8:00 p.m. EDT

Episode 8: Companies. Historically, business has profited by taking from the earth. Can we imagine a world where earth profits from business? Ideas include green-powered paper, eco-food business and green cleaning. Featuring Bill Quigg and David Quigg of Grays Harbor Paper, Joel Makower, Simran Sethi, Josh Dorfman, Michael Gordon and Vaughn Lazar of Pizza Fusion, and John Mullins of Sun & Earth.
