Hiscox, Heather (host). Sherren, Reg (journalist). Wood, Nancy (journalist). Murphy, Tom (journalist). Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (Added Author). Host: Hiscox, Heather ; Journalist: Sherren, Reg ; Journalist: Wood, Nancy ; Journalist: Murphy, Tom. (Cast).

Summary: Three short documentaries from The National look at Canadian companies thriving despite the current economic downturn. Their secret: embracing today' s new green economy. As auto manufacturing plants begin to rust away, meet the small Mississauga-based company, Electrovaya, that' s creating 100% recyclable portable power packs for electric cars. Then track the success of a McGill University team building a silent snowmobile that could replace traditional two-stroke engines that are such big polluters. And lastly, take a look at an innovation from a former Cape Breton pipe-fitter Bob MacNeil; he' s invented a box that could cut your home heating bills by a factor of 10.
