Highlights of the Fourth Season
Length: 30 minutes
This episode celebrates the completion of GreenWorks' fourth
year with encore appearances of the 2000-2001 season's best
stories about people who are addressing environmental issues
in their communities.
Stories like these, which show the ways our health and quality
of life are linked to our land water and air, are what make
GreenWorks an international award winner.
Produced (2001) by GreenWorksTelevision Program.
Victor Otruba
Our first story takes us to northeastern Pennsylvania, to
the former mining towns of Tioga County. We spent the day
with Victor Otruba, a seventeen year old, who told us all
about the effects that abandoned coal mines are having on
our streams that eventually lead to the Chesapeake Bay.

the Bay to PA Show.

In the second story GreenWorks visits Leo Sewell, an artist
who finds pieces of metal, wood, and plastic- what others
might consider junk- and creates fascinating sculptures.

to Reuse Show.
Wendy Looker
In our modern world there are many dangers for our feathered
friends, so each year many birds are injured. But thanks to
one caring person in Dillsburg, PA many birds can get another
chance for survival.

Rachel Carson
Throughout Pennsylvanias history there have been pioneers
who have shown us that our actions have benefits well beyond
our borders. One such person was Rachel Carson, who sounded
the alarm to the dangers of pesticides with her book Silent
Spring.
