"Power for Pollinators" explores how large land managers have a unique opportunity to turn tens of millions of acres into healthy pollinator habitat. In particular, power companies with right-of-way corridors and buffer zones are uniquely positioned to create large pollinator highways. These untapped areas have the potential to become one of the largest pollinator projects in history. If power companies and other land managers choose to work together planting flowers and reducing chemical use across the landscape, we can bring back pollinators and—with them—a host of essential food and ecosystem resources. As electricity flows through the landscape, power companies can help pollinators flow through the ecosystem.
The war in Europe is over, but the one at home has only just begun. The Second World War is ending and throughout Britain, evacuees are returning home to their families - but not the families they remember. Like so many other women, Peggy’s life has been transformed by the war. Living and working with good friends, she is happier than she has been for years. Yet Peggy’s life is not the only one changed by the war. Her daughter, Rusty, has just returned from the U.S., where she has been living as an evacuee for the last five years. After so long abroad, her home in England has become unrecognizable. Just as Peggy begins to restore normal family bonds, her husband returns from the war, damaged and desperate to make everything as it was before. Adapted from the novel by Michelle Magorian, author of Goodnight, Mister Tom, Back Home is the story of a family who struggle to make sense of their new lives in a world irrevocably altered by the far-reaching effects of war.
Nesse filme de natal, os Muppets recontam a clássica história "A Christmas Carol". O protagonista do filme, Ebenezer Scrooge, não é interpretado por um muppet, mas sim por um ator de carne e osso: Michael Caine, mas os Muppets estão muito presentes na história. Caco, o Sapo, faz o papel de Bob Cratchit, o Urso Fozzie faz Fozziwig (que na história original é chamado de Fezziwig), Robin faz o Pequeno Tim e Gonzo faz o próprio Charles Dickens, que aparece como narrador da história.
