SANTIAGO, Apr 14 2003 (IPS) - The popular children’s show “31 Minutes”, of the state-run Televisión Nacional de Chile, is hosted by puppets and includes a segment on the environment, the first broadcast of which will track “where muck goes”. Every Saturday and Sunday, the show’s host – in this case a rabbit – takes up issues like sewage treatment, pollution, or desertification.

The environmental aim of “31 Minutes”, also backed by the National Environment Commission, is to take a broad and pleasant approach to education, focusing on solutions rather than on conflict.
