Set your DVR for two shows on sustainability this week.

Tonight on the History Channel: Modern Marvels looks at Environmental Tech

Take a look at the innovations designed to hold off a global warming meltdown. Visit giant solar energy towers in Spain, install a rooftop wind turbine and ride in a car that runs on air. Will a daring attempt to remove carbon dioxide from our atmosphere by dumping iron in the ocean really work? Discover how everyone can go green with the flick of a switch.

Wednesday on the Discovery Channel: “Earth: The Sequel” (watch preview above)

A show based on the bestselling book of the same name.  In an email to supporters of Green For All, Van Jones wrote:

Our friends at the Environmental Defense Fund have partnered with the Discovery Channel to bring green energy technologies to life as never before.

Am I really writing to ask you to watch TV on Wednesday?

Yes.  Because this special tells the story that the whole nation needs to know: 

We have an abundance of clean energy alternatives already available to solve the global warming crisis and rebuild a clean, green America.
