How can citizens effect change in their own communities? This program explores a variety of new approaches and grassroots efforts - transforming a toxic waste threat into a revenue generating eco-enterprise; creation of a “living machine”, an ingenious system that uses fish, bacteria, clams, snails and plants to clean waste water; and experiments in sustainable technology where one industry's waste becomes another's resource. We see how citizens have been able to effect change and explore the new technologies that have empowered them.
