Christian Aid has recently joined forces with environmental broadband TV channel green.tv to recruit people to its new 'climate changed' campaign.

Three short films on the channel have been launched by the charity, which will appear in the climate change, technology and land sections of the site.

Forests on the frontline follows actor Kris Marshall as he investigates the destruction of the rainforest in northern Bolivia; Power to the people demonstrates how solar projects in Malawi are transforming lives and Climate changed campaign asks business and the UK Government to take responsibility for reducing carbon emissions.

Launched in March 2006, green.tv attracts 150,000 unique users a month and is the brainchild of Largeblue, the UK's leading commercial producer of environmental films.

Ade Thomas, managing director of green.tv said: "green.tv is a project built on the principle of partnership. It's great to be able to work with Christian Aid in order to show the illuminating films they produce highlighting their important work in the field. We're looking forward to bringing a large global broadband and video podcast audience to this content."

Isabel Morgan, executive producer at Christian Aid said: "green.tv provides a fantastic opportunity for Christian Aid to promote its messages about climate change to an ever increasing on-line audience. It is the perfect platform to tell the stories of people in the developing world whose lives can be improved through our project work and to highlight our political campaigning on climate change in the UK."

Working in 50 countries with 700 partner organisations, Christian Aid plans to upload more environmental films onto green.tv over the coming year. In particular it will be submitting films from its planned 1,000 mile 'Cut the carbon' march which begins in July and will be the UK's longest ever protest march.

You can't be serious? I feel sorry for well meaning but seriously misguided Christians who actually believe there is some biblical basis for any type of environmental activism. There is no theological basis for it and the "Great Commission" actually suggests otherwise. The Tony Campolo's of the world dilute the powerful life changing message of the Gospel by reducing God to a helpless hand wringing uninvolved heavenly being who is somehow heart broken that we can't take care of the earth. God is not worried about the earth one little bit and He isn't concerned with our stewardship of it. There is only one thing that God is concerned with, that Jesus be exalted and that the whole world confess that "Jesus is Lord". For Christians to think somehow that they are bartering works for favor with God by showing some "feel good" attempt at harmony with the earth is bordering on worshiping the created instead of worshiping the Creator. Environmentalist doctrine is rooted in "Liberation Theology" and has it's roots in anti-capitalist Marxism.
