Television programs to highlight sustainability science

Maine Public Broadcasting Network has produced “Sustainable Maine,” two half-hour television programs focusing on sustainability science in Maine.  Several UMaine experts will appear in the programs which, as noted in an MPBN news release, detail “a new way of combining biophysical sciences with social science and economics to study Maine’s changing landscape, and how to sustain it for future generations.”  The first program airs on Tuesday Sept. 27 at 8 p.m.  Three more episodes, developed through a collaboration between MPBN and Maine EPSCoR’s  Sustainability Solutions Initiative, are in production for 2012. Maine EPSCoR is based at UMaine.
