The Gund Institute for Ecological Economics at The University of Vermont hosted a symposium with Paul Lussier Company, Rivet Entertainment, and the Discovery Channel to sustainably redesign the US capitol after a hypothetical hurricane in 2018 as proposed by Discovery Channel’s FINAL HOUR.
FINAL HOUR is an historic eight-part television series that bridges the gap between science and action surrounding the most critical issues of our time. Set as hybrid of drama and non-fiction storytelling entirely based on scientific fact, FINAL HOUR addresses core issues of climate change, poverty and fears of peak oil.
Rather than merely present these issues, this 8-part series calls on some of the world’s greatest minds to uncover groundbreaking solutions for sustainability and potential means to save the planet. The series is set to premiere in the Fall of 2008, and is produced by Paul Lussier Company and Rivet Entertainment for Discovery Channel .
