According to Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) School of Communication and Creative Industries lecturer Dr Bruce Fell, the world’s television stations have a large part to play in lowering carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. A compelling free public lecture to be held on Wednesday 22 September will look at how everyday television influences our individual and community understanding of the world. According to atmospheric scientists, the 39 000 television stations across the globe have 350 reasons to care about global ecological sustainability. “The safe upper limit for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is 350 parts per million (ppm), but the June 2010 measurement was 392.04ppm,” Dr Bruce Fell said. “Television can assist with the ecological debate surrounding global warming and climate change.”
