Ways to save earth

You've heard the dire warnings and seen the detailed slide shows, and you've even bought that energy efficient light bulb. You wonder, though, how can small, individual measures like switching to compact flourescent lightbulbs and using canvas shopping bags in lieu of plastic be enough to save the planet? Tune in to Ways to Save the Planet and watch as some of the world's leading scientists put the most ambitious geo-engineering ideas to the test in order to tackle global climate change.
Working with the uncompromising visionaries whose large-scale experiments will be featured on the programme is the Ways to Save the Planet task force. Members of the task force include Jennifer Languell, an eco-house-building engineer for whom no task is too daunting; Basil Singer, a scientific boy wonder who, at 29, has a doctorate in astrophysics and builds robots for a living; and finally, Kevin O'Leary, a billionaire entrepreneur and venture capitalist who can fund the impossible.
See what happens when "what if?" meets "why not?" Ways To Save The Planet re-engineers the planet's possibilities and literally spans the globe, pinpointing areas of both concern and opportunity in confronting climate change. Here are brief descriptions of the experiments that will be highlighted by the series.

Wrapping Greenland
Dr. Jason Box, a glaciologist from Ohio State University, wants to prevent glaciers from melting by covering them with blankets that will reflect the powerful rays of the sun. Box is convinced that his specially chosen material is resilient enough for Arctic conditions, but just how indestructible is it really? The team goes airborne to reproduce some of the worst weather experienced in the Arctic Circle: a hurricane-force ice storm. After testing, they deploy a 10,000-square-yard, reflective geo-textile blanket on the Greenland ice sheet. Will the blanket indeed reflect the sun and block the wind?
