Sure, you’ve already seen (and been terrified by) An Inconvenient Truth, but what about these seven other Earth documentaries?

7 Earth Day Documentaries Worth Watching for Earth Day 2012

1. Bag It. We promise that after seeing this Earth documentary, you’ll never look at plastic the same way again. You can watch this one for free, too, on this Sunday (Earth Day 2012!) at 8 p.m. ET on the Documentary Channel, which is doing a whole day of “EarthView” programming that promises an eye-opening exploration of our earth, the environment and ways we can all participate in making the world a better place to live. We dig it!
