"Earth: the Operator's Manual"

 

"Earth: The Operators' Manual" dispenses with politics, polemics or punditry; instead, it presents an objective, accessible assessment of the Earth's problems and possibilities that will leave viewers informed, energized and optimistic.

3 Part Series

"Earth: The Operators' Manual" (ETOM) is a PBS mini-series of three one hour programs that recasts the challenge of climate change as a kick in the pants to the ongoing movement to tap the full potential of efficiency and renewable energy. 

 
ETOM rejects "doom & gloom" and controversy. Yes, climate change is real, but there are lots of things we can do to adapt, to innovate and begin to mitigate what's happening

ETOM isn't about just convincing people about climate, it's about taking action that's a win-win-win for all of us. As series host Richard Alley says, "If we approach Earth as if we have an Operators' Manual, we can avoid climate catastrophes, improve energy security, and make millions of good jobs." 


 

"Now there is one outstandingly important fact regarding Spaceship Earth, and that is that no instruction book came with it." 

R. Buckminster Fuller, Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth, 1963
