Mojave Solar
We are all accustomed to seeing solar panels on roofs around neighborhoods. But you probably haven't seen mirrored solar panels that focus sunlight to generate heat that powers a large turbine? We traveled to the Mojave Desert to see how they work!.
Solar Decathlon Pt1
Two universities, just down the road from one other, are are among 20 schools are selected to design, build and operate solar powered houses that are cost-effective, energy efficient and attractive. We visit California State University Sacramento and University of California Davis as they build their homes.

Solar Suitcases
Laguna Creek High School in Elk Grove, California has a very cool Green Energy Technology Academy. One of their projects is a real product helping to bring electricity and light to people around the world.
Salt Pond Restoration
The second largest wetland restoration project in the U.S. is located along the San Francisco Bay. For decades a salt production company used the natural area for solar salt production. But what remains now is an eco-wasteland. On this day a group of teens have volunteered their time to remove unwanted vegetation and plant seedlings natural to the habitat.
Majestic Redwoods
Redwood trees go back to when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Some of them can live more than 3,000 years! Some of them grow to more than 25 stories tall! Is climate change affecting them too? Jalena talks to biodiversity scientist Dr. Healy Hamilton to see what the future holds.
Raptors & The Environment
We meet some teens spending the day learning about raptors and their relationships with the environment and farmers! The day culminates with the teens building box homes for barn owls. It's day of discovery for all.
Organic Cotton
It may look clean, but cotton has a big footprint in the world. Cotton growers use 11 percent of the world's pesticides and it takes more than 700 gallons of water to grow enough cotton to make just one T-shirt. But some farmers are doing things differently.
