Networks and Resources; Green Guide

This is a followup post to my previous post, where I embedded a Hulu video of the TV show Dollhouse, where they talk about Earth Day. I decided that after talking about a selected few networks, I need to take a look at a couple more. Here are some resources from respected networks, news stations, and newsmakers. Let’s have a look, shall we? Feel free to leave more resources in the comments below. It’d be greatly appreciated.

1) National Geographic: National Geographic segments are perhaps among one of the most trusted sources. Since 1888, it has been making tremendous contributions to support research projects and great scientific work. National Geographic has published creative magazines, videos, and has a great website. With so many resources, you can’t neglect their online presence. First, the environment section of their site has video and news and their Green Guide is the #1 resource, in my books, for everything green.

2) NBC: This massive television network, with hit shows like Chuck, Heroes, 30 Rock, Life, The Office, and much more, are trying to help you go green. They’ve introduced a new “green” section on their website, and have launched a campaign, with the slogan “Green Your Routine” and “The More You Know”. Well put. Their ads can be seen on Hulu. With tips for greening your food choices, work environment, and home, it’s a great resource.

3) Discovery: I’m pretty sure you know about this network already, with popular programming taking the nation by storm. This is the network that bought TreeHugger, one of the best sources out there for news about sustainability. I won’t be including TreeHugger as an individual source, but know that it is one of the best. If you’re not familiar with it, start getting familiar with it, and fast. Discovery’s Planet Green is a great resource, with information on Fashion and Beauty, Food and Health, Home and Garden, Tech and Transport, Travel and Outfoors, and Work and Connect. Excellent site.

4) CBS: I couldn’t find much, and I couldn’t find the CBS green page. I wish they followed the example of NBC and had one of those pages. I did, however, find a splash page for CBS Green Radio. It’s coming. At least that’s what it says. Looking forward to it.

5) HGTV: Want to learn about living green and building green? HGTV is the best resource for that. With green building techniques and ideas, you can never go wrong by visiting their site. Make sure you check out their Green Home virtual tour. It’s pretty awesome. Enjoy.

6) PBS: Growing up, I watched a lot of video segments from PBS and Nationa Geographic. They are great educational sites. Perfect place to learn. What better place to make kids environmentally aware than through media from PBS? Here is a series that PBS showed: It’s called Building Green TV. Good stuff.

7) Huffington Post: They have a great green webpage. Excellent place for green news and opinions. Also check them out on twitter, @huffingtonpost .
