Eco Initiatives : Weathering Climate Change

Buckner, Dianne (host). Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (Added Author). Host: Buckner, Dianne. (Cast).

Summary: With the recession weighing on most consumers' minds, you might think environmentally friendly thoughts are being pushed to the side. But while demand for green consumer products has dropped somewhat, plenty of North Americans remain committed to doing better by Mother Earth. Both the Canadian and American governments are reacting to the recession by spending to stimulate economic growth. And they' re committing billions of those dollars to green jobs and eco initiatives. Get the latest on the dramatic story of Geoff Baker and Laura Lee Normandeau. Their eco-friendly carwash was circling the drain in Fortune Hunters first season. Has filing for bankruptcy washed them out or given their green business a fresh, clean start? Also in the regular Fortune Hunters segment, My First Million, follow the success of Nina Gupta and Greenlite. Her bright idea of selling eco-friendly light bulbs led to her great success.
