EARTH DAY 2009 - WHAT YOU DO COUNTS

Earth Day has grown in momentum annually since its humble beginnings back in April 1970. Over 500 million people in 85 countries around the world are expected to celebrate Earth Day this year and we want to inspire you, through our programming into caring about the planet.

While viewers may already be familiar with headlines about rising sea levels and receding ice sheets, photographer James Balog's breathtaking photography, in Extreme Ice, enables us to fully understand the impact climate change is having.

Strange Days on Planet Earth, hosted by Edward Norton, emphasises how interconnected our planet is, and that all of our actions have global consequences, coordinating with our "what you do counts" Earth Day theme.

The past year has brought about tremendous changes to our planet – from horrifically violent earthquakes and hurricanes to heartening findings of new creatures and species brought back from the brink of extinction. Earth Report 2009 brings us up to date.
