GOINGGREEN – Every Home an Eco-Home
GoingGreen Productions and Eco-Home Network are pleased to announce that GOINGGREEN –Every Home an Eco-Home, a half-hour television program that
brings the basics of eco-living to your door, is available on DVD from the
distributors listed below.
Narrated by environmentally aware
actor, Tony Shalhoub (star of Monk,), GOINGGREEN shows us how we can live earth-friendly lives on a
limited budget, even in the middle of a city.
Mixing humor with everyday, affordable
examples at home, GOINGGREEN
tours the original Eco-Home with a group of middle-school kids who discover
first-hand some simple, inexpensive ways to become more earth-friendly. Guided
by eco-pioneer Julia Russell, Founding Director of the non-profit, Eco-Home Network, the children learn how to conserve water through drip
irrigation, soaker hoses, graywater systems and drought-tolerant landscaping.
They discover why and how to compost, what household hazardous waste may be
lurking in their own homes, and how to use the sun's energy to light, heat and
power their homes with sun pipes, solar hot water heaters and solar panels. The
kids experience the delight of making their own organic tomato juice with
tomatoes they picked right off the vine in Eco-Home's backyard garden. They
learn, hands-on, how to compost, while having fun watching the progress of
several serious-looking bugs that Julia describes as a crucial part of the
"composting team." The kids ask questions and then come up with some
of the answers!
Funding for GOINGGREEN was provided by the Metropolitan
Water District of Southern California, Los Angeles Department of Water &
Power, Los Angeles County Department of Sanitation, and the City of Los Angeles
Department of Public Works.
Suzanne Harle, Founder of the
non-profit Green Planet Films, was delighted to be the first to acquire
distribution rights to the program.
