Catch a Sneak Peek of Planet Green Tonight on TLC
by Jasmin Malik Chua, Jersey City, USA on 04.15.08
Organic couch potatoes can catch an exclusive sneak peek of Planet Green on TLC before the first all-green-all-the-time network launches on June 4.
At 7 p.m. (ET), watch the WA$TED! team, led by host Annabelle Gurwitch and "green" handyman Holter Graham, as they audit a household's waste, as well as its energy, water and transportation consumption. Each household has three weeks to reduce its consumption, going on a “green regime” to clean up their act.
Next, tune in to Greenovate, a new half-hour series that gives an eco-friendly nod to the homeowners who are taking strides to make the world a better place for living. Viewers watch as home improvements ranging from the simple change of a light bulb to the drastic installation of a “living roof” reduce energy bills and carbon footprints, while increasing the value of their homes.

This network sounds wonderful, with the only concern being that it should't promote commerce, giving people the impression that they can still consume vast quantities of products and feel good about themselves just because these things are considered more eco-friendly than others.
We just watched wasted on tlc. We have been watching wasted, from I believe New Zealand. We have been doing our part for quite some time. CFL bulbs, recycling, line drying laundry and now I'm looking into info on the Zenn electric car. We are also looking to build a new home in the near future. Downsizing, recycling building materials, and trying to live off the grid as much as possible are some of the things we hope to accomplish.
I believe we can all do our part on saving what is left of our planet. It all starts with the first step.
I'm hoping to see, on future shows, the average individual, (people who earn between 30 to 50 thousand dollars a year or less). This would prove to be the most beneficial.
By this example, I am sure that everyone would see that going green is not only possible...it's necessary. An absolute must.
And this is so easy to do.
This is FANTASTC! Finally a station that goes all green!!!!!!!!!! You guys are doing a great thing! Thanks!

Watched the promo and enjoyed it, but hope the network will keep in mind that being ecologically responsible is not exclusive to the affluent. I hope a more diverse audience will be represented.
Just checked out Planet Green's preview of their new show G Word, gotta say it was pretty good. The whole show was interesting even though a few of the segments were weak. The two chicks who did the "Keep It Green" segment were hilarious though!! If for no other reason, check out the show for those two!
