Each year as Earth Day rolls around, inevitably someone asks us “What should I do to celebrate Earth Day?” While I think every day should be Earth Day, an annual celebration is a great opportunity to celebrate our accomplishments and strengthen our resolve to protect this amazing planet. Personally, I think one of the best ways to do that is to get educated on the issues so that we are prepared to speak out, take action, and save our River!

Fortunately, PBS’s award winning program Frontline is airing a new documentary tonight to help us do just that! While it profiles Puget Sound and Chesapeake Bay, the problems profiled in this documentary are felt by every waterway, including the St. Lawrence River.

Poisoned Waters: PBS FRONTLINE Tuesday, April 21 – 9 to 11pm (check your local listings)

About Poisoned Waters
America’s great waterways are in peril, facing a new wave of pollution that is killing fish, causing mutations in frogs, and threatening human health. Our waters were supposed to be cleaned up by
1983, but they’re still polluted by industrial-scale animal waste; legacy pollutants like PCBs; and a toxic brew of new compounds from our modern life-style. Join Correspondent Hedrick Smith from Chesapeake Bay to Puget Sound and find out who’s responsible for the new pollution and what you can do about it.

See video clips, trailer, press release and webcast materials on the Frontline website. Or, if you can’t catch the program tonight, you can watch the full program online after it airs tonight.

So, pop some organic popcorn and tune in. Let us know what you think!
