Honor Thy Mother Earth

Television's first all-green channel, Planet Green, will debut this evening.

Planet Green

This latest project of the Discovery Channel will feature eco-oriented programming, most of which has been aired already on it's existing networks. I've seen some of these programs, such as Wasted and Living with Ed, and I enjoyed them and learned from them.

I'm especially excited to see Greensburg, a program about the rebuilding of the small Kansas town that was destroyed by a horrible tornado on May 4 last year. The town has made it a goal to rebuild according to LEED Platinum standards. I admire their desire to make a positive thing out of such a sad event. Another cool fact: the show's executive producer is Leonardo DiCaprio.

This channel will be an excellent way to provide people all across the country with accessible information on greening their lives. Head over and check out the website when you have a chance. There is lots of good online content and opportunities for interacting with others who share your passion for green living.
