As the worlds top two carbon emitters, China and the U.S. face significant challenges reducing their carbon emissions while keeping up with each nations growing demand for more energy. Is there the potential for cooperation between both Pacific Rim nations around this important issue, or is each nation seeking its own distinct solutions? Green Rim documents how people from universities, NGOs and industries in both countries can learn from each other as they work to reduce CO2 emissions, increase energy efficiency, create new methods to produce renewable energy and conserve natural resources. Filmed on location in China and Silicon Valley (California), Green Rim shows why clean tech energy solutions to climate change problems can only be effective if they also address the underlying social values which hinder or enable those solutions to be integrated into the everyday lives of members of each society. (57 Minutes)

Produced by Bob Gliner in association with Belle Wei, the Charles W. Davidson College of Engineering at San Jose State University, Sandy Chau, and the U.S. China Green Energy Council.
