The new channel is an excellent and commendable move to bring about a sustained consciousness among people to GO GREEN and it makes efforts to make people take steps they can take to transition their lives to green bliss and not to mention if they want embrace a hip green lifestyle.And since this is presented by Adrian Grenier and his team , it is worth watching.
I'm excited for this show and channel. I really want to learn how to be more green. I'm kind of just starting out compared to many other readers here, I presume. I'm hoping to catch up quickly.
Much like Entourage, Alter Eco gives the viewer a glimpse of a life most of us will never obtain. This is a common problem I see often when observing the "green movement". Many (not all) of the eco-solutions are only viable to the affluent. Where's the show about the common man going green? The housing projects going green? The world's poor are not going to jump on the green bandwagon if they can't afford to make eco-friendly life changes. I urge the creative minds of Planet Green to strongly consider launching shows that address the economic divide that is a prevalent facet of the environmental movement.
Ben, that's a very good point. I personally have been watching these shows enough where I've been noticing some of the cheaper and even free things I can do. Hopefully they'll realize that they may need to focus on the cheap and free a little more for us typical folk.
linkblue,
I agree. There are some freebies available in their programming. But there is also a lot of room expansion. Good luck on your green evolution.
LOVE the GREEN CHANNEl,
Best Thing since "SLICED BREAD."
I myself am defineately into the GREEN MOVEMENT.
I live in New York City and I walk "A LOT" always have, I walk when most people would take a Taxi. I hardly ever take a TAXI, I mostly walk oe take teh SUBWAY.
Back to the Green Channel. I LOVE all the shows, but ESPECIALLY "LOVE, LOVE LOVE"
LIVING with ED... This show is FANTASTIC. Ed Begley Jr, is Great in this show, as is his wife Rachel. It's a lot of FUN watching them TEASE each other and bust each others horns. All the info on Eco Living is GREAT. It's Fun watching them Living the Green life and all the ups and downs.
The episodes with Larry Hagman, Jay Leno, Jackson Brown, and EDS neighbors are Fun and are good segments.
I hope LIVING with ED is "Hugely Sucessful" as I LOVE the show and want it to stay on AIR a Long TIME. Living with ED is giving Anthony Bourdains "No Reservations" a run for the Money for my FAVORITE SHOW on TV. "ITS the GREATEST"
Good Luck and Keep Up the GREAT WORK.. LOVE IT. Long Life!!!! DAN
