 | CUTLINE: WLIW21’s local documentary, GOING GREEN LONG ISLAND, serves as a “Green 101” primer for viewers who have seen the many stories about global warming and the concept of “going green” but haven’t fully understood the local role and impact. Defining what it means to “go green” by reducing your “carbon footprint” — the amount of energy a person consumes and the amount of natural resources needed to produce that energy — the program explains that the more gasoline you burn, the more electricity you use, and the more waste you don’t recycle, the larger your carbon footprint will be.
