You should really get outside this holiday weekend – - but if the weather, social overload, or a fear of fireworks keeps you inside, we’ve provided a few ‘green’ viewing options:

• A variety of animal ‘odd couples’…Nat Geo’s ‘Unlikely Animal Friends’ – tonight at 8 + 10pm.
• If you’re exhausted from barbecuing on the 4th, you can always watch ‘Dual Survival’ on Discovery for more outdoor, odd couple action. A series of episodes starting at 7pm on Independence Day.
• Everyone loves gorillas…Sunday night at 8pm you can catch ‘The Gorilla King’ on your local PBS station.
• Also on Sunday the 3rd…I don’t think this show features a shirtless Valerie Putin, but Planet Green is featuring the otherwise very impressive ‘Wild Russia’.
• In theaters now — for those who prefer a big screen viewing experience and/or need to find something for the kiddies — bicycle over to your local theater to catch Cars 2 — which packs an underlying eco-friendly message.
