I didn't see that TV show, but i suspect the kid made some kind of solar heater.
You can go to www.solarcooking.org to learn how to build your own solar oven.
You can also go to Youtube and search "solar water heater" to see demonstrations of how people made various water heaters out of common materials. Maybe Youtube will also have demos of how to make your own windmill. It might work - are you in Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweeping down the plains?
There's no cheap way to make electricity from the sun, at least not yet. Watch out of scams that suggest you can, if you'll only pay them $69 to learn how.
How can I help?
I have never been made "aware" of how much danger our environment was really in. Now I am hearing it everywhere (with the Global Warming issue we are seeing it everywhere) I have decided that I need to do my part. Realistically, I cannot afford to run out a buy a new hybrid car or transform my home into a solar powered station. Other than the energy saving light bulbs and recycling what else can I do to help?
Here are some thing that you can do that you might not have thought of that might be more simple than what was previously described, the "average joe" plan.
All the lightbulbs in your house (as you said) along with recycling, but tell your family and friends about this. The more they see you doing it, the more likely they will be to do it. So try to get other people around you involved as well, and it is as simple as going to a store and buying a lightbulb or buying a trashcan for recycling. You can be the one that starts a change with everyone you know.
Also this one is a little more abstract, but hear me out. Buy your food from local sources, like farmers markets. There is more than likely a farmers market somewhere near you. This is important for many reasons. Think about how far that box of fish sticks has been transferred to get to you. Boxed things from grocery stores are often driven and flown several hundreds of miles, so by buying local, you eliminate the extensive travel that your food goes through to get to you. At the same time you are also helping out your community by putting money back into it, will more than likely pay less, and the quality and care of the food you get will increase immensely. I would check it out.
If you want to get really serious, you could start using public transportation like the train or something like that.
Most of all it is important that you spread your practices to your friends, because that kind of mass action will really make a difference. I heard somewhere that if every household in the country put just 1 cfl bulb in their house (out of the average 100 sockets) that it would save enough energy as all the cars in LA emit in a week or something. That is a lot, now imagine if every socket in the country was a cfl, that is what europe did, and it made a difference.
Thank you for wanting to be green!
Edit: You can also add skylights to your house. It will not only be nice to let some natural light into a room but will save you money too!
