Abstract: From the prairies of Saskatchewan to a Manhattan skyscraper, MODERN MARVELS® explores the 21st Century's cutting-edge "green" technologies in action. Learn how tongue-twisting technologies such as carbon sequestration and bioremediation take on our most daunting environmental crises: global warming, deforestation, nuclear waste and resource scarcity. Then, experience the slimier side of environmental tech as blue-green algae are converted into automotive biofuel and decomposing garbage supplies clean-burning natural gas. Finally, see how trees and other natural environments can be used as engineering materials to control flooding and rejuvenate dying rivers.
