Environmental innovations highlighted in “WaveLengths: Sustainability” include: two Tucson growers with a budding business on the banks of the Rillito River; a large facility in Tucson that produces enough ethanol to supply the entire state and parts of Southern California; a look at a team of researchers hoping to make biodiesel even more sustainable; one researcher finding the best way to harness solar energy, which is both a personal and professional quest; and a look at Pima County recycling statistics and the processes which can make a difference.
