Sundance Channel will premiere season three of its award-winning original eco-series "Big Ideas for a Small Planet," Tuesday, August 4 at 8 pm, ET/PT. The 13-part series airs as part of THE GREEN, Sundance Channel’s weekly primetime destination devoted to environmental programming.
"Big Ideas for a Small Planet" 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, art, sports, music, and greener ways to relax.
Jackson Browne, Thom Filicia, Cindy Crawford, Soleil Moon Frye, and the Philadelphia Eagles are among those that will be featured and profiled in season three. The series also showcases a cast of recurring expert commentators, including award-winning scientist, geneticist and author, Dr. David Suzuki; author and host of "The Lazy Environmentalist," Josh Dorfman; urban revitalization strategist and host of "Eco-Heroes," Majora Carter; and sustainability journalist, Simran Sethi.
