Understanding the importance of saving the world from global warming is important, but that does not mean you will have fun being green. Sundance Channel wants “being green” to be a fun process and therefore, we try to present environmental information in new and exciting formats.

You already know about Sundance Channel’s new weekly programming block THE GREEN [www.sundancechannel.com]. Shows like BIG IDEAS FOR A SMALL PLANET explore the personalities and innovative strategies of cutting edge businesses that are tackling green issues in excitingly new ways. ECOISTS portrays candid interviews of celebrities like Woody Harrelson, Daryl Hannah, Ben Harper and others as they ask motivating questions about humanities’ role in assuring a healthy environment.

The fun begins On Air but continues on Sundance Channel Website. When you sign up as a member of Sundance Channel, you can also get the Greenzine [www.sundancechannel.com], a fun collection of stories and opinions that you can only find on Sundance Channel. You will receive a couple Greenzine issues each month, so you can be sure the fun will be lasting.

Sundance Channel Signs On For NBC Universal’s “Green Is Universal” – A Weeklong Eco Programming Initiative November 4th through 10th.

Sundance Channel is proud to be a part of this week’s flurry of programming around all-environmental topics. Green Is Universal on Sundance Channel will consist of nightly showings of IT’S NOT EASY BEING GREEN and BIG IDEAS FOR A SMALL PLANET. Interspersed through these two shows will be Sundance Channel’s acclaimed show ECOISTS.

In the words of Sundance Channel’s CEO, Larry Aidem “Sundance Channel is extremely proud to be part of NBC Universal’s ‘Green is Universal’ initiative; it is critical to continue to raise public awareness around environmental issues and the more avenues there are to access information, the better, especially through entertainment.”

Sundance Channel will also be unveiling a new Eco-documentary Tuesday night at 9:35PM as part of our GREEN programming block. RADIANT CITY looks at a typical American suburb through the eyes of a family that has been living there. The documentary talks about the unhealthy environmental conditions one can be exposed to in a suburb, and especially ones where the houses are mass produced from cheap materials and is built upon a habitat that was recently terraformed. For instance, if an old landfill is covered over by a few feet of insulators and topsoil, is that a healthy place for a town?

Is it hard to distinguish yourself in the suburbs? Perhaps life in the suburbs is better than that? Let us know what you think after viewing this clip by commenting on this blog post.
