45:00 minutes
Grades 10 - Adult
This program makes the case for outdoor education. Many people believe that our relationship
with nature is forged in childhood, but with the vast majority of North Americans and Europeans
living in urban areas, many kids never get a chance to experience the world outside of the
concrete jungle. In fact modern living conditions and formal education often alienate children
from nature as they grow older.
Bucking this trend are a number of highly successful outdoor education programs such as Hood
Ecologic, an inner-city environmental group that was started by four young students, and
Children of the Earth, based in a native school which tries to integrate traditional Native
American teachings with academic course work.

water supply for drinking and irrigation; 2. Organic Farming in the South Bronx - an organic
herb and vegetable farm employing 100 people from the neighborhood; 3. Wild/lower Seed Bank
- the first cryogenic seed bank in North America which protects hundreds of endangered
wildflower species; 4. Preserving Holland's Tidal Ecology - an ingenious dike preserves tidal
ecology, and with it the fishing and tourism which depend on it; and 5. Fish Farming in
Amazonia - farming native fish for income and food instead of slash and burn agriculture that
destroys the rainforest.

TITLE: Problems of Conservation: Acid Rain
TOPIC: Other
LENGTH: 17:36 minutes
AUDIENCE: Grades 9 - 12
The industrialization of North America and Europe, as well as the development of the
automobile, has produced a number of gasses that turn the clouds downwind from the factories
into a corrosive acid. These clouds can be carried by the wind for hundreds of miles as they
produce acid rain and snow, causing drastic changes in the forests, streams and lakes in their
path. This video illustrates the way acid rain has damaged trees and reduced populations of fish
and other animals. It also details the ways in which we can make significant reductions in acid
rain.

AUDIENCE: Grades 9 - 12
We burn coal, gasoline, and other petroleum products for a number of reasons: for automobiles,

unfit for use by human beings and wildlife. This video illustrates examples of both of these
conservation problems. Early sequences focus on the effect of diverting large amounts of a lake's
water supply to meet the needs of a major city. The result is the virtual destruction of the lake.
This video also shows how water can be treated in order to return it to a pure state.
