APRIL 2018 EARTH DAY EVERY DAY n the late 1960s, America was in the midst of an environmental wake-up call. Air pollution was linked to disease and death in New York, Los Angeles, and other cities. Ohio’s Cuyahoga River, filled with oil and toxic chemicals, burst into flames. Rachel Carson’s bestseller, I Silent Spring, continued to spark outrage over the use of pesticides. On April 22, 1970, in response to this crisis, 20 million people took to the HALL/STRUCTURE FILMS streets for the nation’s first Earth Day. Forty-eight years later, the spirit of Earth Day is stronger than ever as our planet faces climate change and other issues. And as always, it’s an opportunity for people to come together and appreciate the beauty of the natural world. To celebrate Earth Day, NJTV is airing specials all month long on geology, butterflies, climate change, and more. Ever wonder how butterflies mate? They join at the abdomen, facing away from each other — and some couples stay joined for hours! That’s just one of the fascinating facts you’ll discover in Sex, Lies and Butterflies (Monday, April 16 at 8pm), a Nature special following Painted Ladies and other butterfly species as they transform from egg to caterpillar to chrysalis to winged creature. Explore their astonishing survival techniques — including 360° vision, deceptive camouflage, chemical weaponry, and fantastic flight — and look beyond their bright colors and fragile beauty to follow them on one of the greatest migrations on earth. Climate change is arguably the defining challenge of our time, yet widespread misinformation has made it difficult for politicians and the public to understand and address the issue. NOVA: Decoding the Weather Machine (Monday, April 30 © THIRTEEN PRODUCTIONS LLC; ARTERRA PICTURE LIBRARY / ALAMY STOCK PHOTO; SHUTTERSTOCK DON MAMMOSER; COURTESY OF BRENDAN at 9pm) cuts through the noise to help define the way forward.
