From urban composting to green-minded gorillas, check out our latest and greatest video picks of the week.

1) What exactly is rain harvesting and how do you do it? These college kids show just how simple saving the planet can be. Learn the techniques for an easy way to save water.

2) Best way to get those kiddies to care about the planet? Have a cartoon tell them! Check out "Gorilla in the Greenhouse," the new series from National Geographic Kids that teaches kids of all ages what happens when we don't reduce, reuse and recycle.

3) The Plastic Battle
This video is the winner of Friends of the Earth's 2007 One-Minute Film Competition, which dares contestants to come up with a one-minute film that promotes awareness of environmental issues. Check out the subtle yet powerful message about the amount of plastic that is used on products.

4) Apartment composting
If you think that composting and apartment living are not synonymous, think again. Even if you don't have a garden, this video will show you how to compost in a tiny space. We love the Gorilla Gardening tactics.

5) The tissue box
Second Chances: This clever DIY project reuses an empty CD spindle to create a useful household product. It's perfect for all those film and television production houses that use thousands of these spindles a year.
