Synopsis

Power Shift engages viewers with the following program segments:

• Connections: Travels the world to illuminate the many facets of energy and sustainability. By connecting seemingly unrelated people and places, the segment demonstrates the interdependence of our global community. Weaving together such themes as renewable energy, energy efficiency, and climate change, “Connections” reminds us to think global and act local.
• Cradle to Cradle: Profiles architect and Time “Hero for the Planet” Willliam McDonough. Through his poetic speaking and graceful metaphors, McDonough shows how the ecological design of buildings and industrial processes will revolutionize our work and lives.
• Energy Path: Answers the question: “When I turn on the light in my room, where does the electricity come from and how does it reach me?” Beginning with a wind farm, we follow the route of electrical energy as it makes its way to our homes and communities.
• Be the Difference: Recaps our narrative journey and offers specific action steps that individuals can take. Examples range from driving a hybrid-electric car to requesting green power from local utilities.
• Speaking Out: Appearing between the four segments, “Speaking Out” serves as a forum for youth to express their aspirations about clean energy.
