I would be encouraged by this except for my sense that tree hugger supports policies that would worsen the wealth disparity problems in the United States and other countries. They seem to be pushing the idea that only high corporate profits will save the earth. I don't think so. You can bet Wal-Mart will be a major sponsor of the programing. Not something that will encourage non-biased programming. I would like to know who really owns Discovery Communications and what their true motivations are.

Again, Green equates Green. Big Bucks! Here we have an opportunity to share with the world, however one must now upgrade thier programing. So it cost more to save. Someone please explain this more for less standard Americans have come to accept.

well, big business can be the change to a greener healthier life, and we can see that with companies like Organic and Natural Enterprise Group (or ONEgroup) an Australian based company who creates and manufactures Miessence the world's first Certified Organic skincare, haircare, personal care, health care and cosmetic products. independently certified to international food grade standards by some of the world's most respected organic certifying organisations, namely, Australian Certified Organic (ACO), the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and IFOAM (Europe).
so if we support companies like this with our dollars, then big business might be forced to change their ways, and rather than cause destruction, they can support regeneration.
Our $ power is what makes big corporations big, so withholding our money from them, and demanding eco friendly products, they will have to sit up and listen, or go out of business.
also, don't forget, that the shareholders, everyday folks in the street, are demanding profits without caring what these corporations do to our planet
there are other wonderful eco companies like dr.bronners, who are totally committed to green products.put your money where your mouth is, and it may make the difference

I would love to see you do a section on the Stirling Engines and the new Sterling generators. I feel that this is the best advance in solving our electrical needs.
I just love your show, I am already hooked on it.

Thanks

I love Planet Green!!! BUT, the "green girls" on the "G Word" have got to go! They are classless, insipid idiots doing a lousey job of spreading an important message. They are not interesting, they are not funny and they don't pull off being knowledgable of the topics they cover.

Thank you.

Interesting to note all the air travel that takes place by the hosts and crew to go to distant places.

I'll buy that it does more good and bad though.

And yes, please try to curb the hippy vibe. It seriously detracts from the message. People who mean well but obviously are just spouting platitudes and often-incorrect conventional wisdom blur the message. Humanity is not just going to move into bamboo huts and eat leaves just because we can.

Real, large scale solutions that will actually make a difference will come from hard science and good engineering, not people who think an organic sticker means better. Often, it means worse, because the only reason people can do this whole "Organic" thing is because everyone else is being fed by normal farms with GM crops that are far more efficient in terms of space and yields. If all humanity tried to go "Organic" as currently touted, hundreds of millions at minimum would die.

Though that might go a long way towards that whole population issue, which is the real bull in the china shop that everyone seems to be ignoring. Funny how no one wants to talk about what we're going to do with 30 billion people who all want 4 kids and an American lifestyle.
