Planet Green Unveils 2010-11 Programming Slate Including BCP-Produced Short Format

geo — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 00:00:48 +0000

We’re proud that our Urban Insight interstitials are a part of the Planet Green programming line-up for 2010-11.

URBAN INSIGHT

4 x 1:30; Premieres Second Quarter 2011

URBAN INSIGHT is a series of vignettes following TreeHugger.com founder Graham Hill as he explores the visionary ideas making New York City a better place to be. On a quest to share green solutions found in NYC that can be easily replicated in communities elsewhere, Graham brings viewers along as he plants crops on a 1,000-square-foot rooftop farm, flips eggs on the griddle of a sustainable bodega and braves hives of honeybees tended by the urban beekeeper known simply as “Bee Man.”

geo — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 00:16:03 +0000

Looks like we’re off to the (bike) races again with our old friend Graham Hill, Founder of TreeHugger.com The development team at Discovery’s Planet Green Channel have turned to Big City to produce as series of on-air interstitials centered around reproducible, medium-sized green solutions being implemented in New York City. And the host for these four segments is going to be Graham. We’re going to cover bikes, food and agriculture this time around. With hopefully more spots to come!

Project Earth Day Eco Fashion Show Student Design Competition

geo — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 01:01:03 +0000

When Jill Fehrenbacher of Inhabitat gave us a call, we popped over at the last minute to the 2008 Project Earth Day Eco Fashion Show to shoot some pretty ladies in outstanding outfits. The plan was to capture the student design competition which was being judged by Jill and our green fellow-traveler Summer Rayne Oakes and others. We also put together a quick video of the runway show for the professionally designed pieces. Michele LaTorre edited both segments. Photos and more info over at Susty.
