To Go Green You Must Find Your Personal Balance

Holter Graham — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GMT

Wa$ted! spent some quality time with a fantastic pair of sisters who ran a salon north of New York City, and we came upon the thorny issue of what to do when what you MUST do goes against what you WANT to do, in terms of the environment.

Go Green: Share Your Home with Extended Family

Holter Graham — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 14:00:00 GMT

Annabelle and I spent some quality time in Jersey while shooting Wasted. I will leave a spot here for mean-spirited jokes, and then move on. Because, in fact, The Garden State has as much, if not more, to offer than any other American locale. Do you have 1.1 million acres of Pine Barrens? All right then. Shut up.

Holter Visits the Homestead National Monument of America, Thinks Your Should Too

Elle McGee and her husband, the family from the Elle's Challenge Episode, serve their country in different ways. When we went to visit with her and her son, her husband had just deployed to Iraq. It got me thinking about what people choose to defend, what makes this place worth defending.

This week on Wa$ted! we went to a pre-school. Any fool will tell you that if you get people into a habit, into a way of thinking, when they are kids, they are more likely to stay with that habit and that thinking for the rest of their lives. And judging by the preschool in our episode, we at least got the teachers and students off to a good start.

New York Attitude Goes Green: Get Your Car Off My Pavement!

Holter Graham — Thu, 28 May 2009 13:30:00 GMT

New York has attitude. It's just that simple. If you live here, you have to: there's too much going on at any given moment for people to not need a pretty good sense of self and purpose to survive day-to-day. For a long time New York had a bad rep as a city of mean people. But we're not mean, we just have stuff to do and somewhere to be, so we're gonna get to the bottom of the matter, get it handled, and move along. Not a lot of time for chit-chat.

When Religion is Good for the Planet

Holter Graham — Wed, 20 May 2009 14:00:00 GMT

The Gaia theory of the earth as a self-moderating system—that I have mentioned before—is named after an Ancient Goddess of the earth. And, as far back as any history or story can reach, the planet and its systems have been seen as either symbols of the gods' strength, or the gods themselves. So religion and love of the planet are, in many ways, very closely mated.

Use Your Friggin' Head Before Throwing Things Out!

Holter Graham — Sat, 09 May 2009 14:00:00 GMT

Green' means a lot of things. I like the term because it can't really be pinned down. To some people it is a huge lifestyle shift that is difficult to maintain and involves a 180 degree turnaround from the way they used to live.

Firemen Dedicate Themselves to a Greener Life

Holter Graham — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 13:30:00 GMT

Wa$ted was really pleased to spend some time with the full-timers and volunteers at the Evesham Fire-Rescue. And, as it turns out, we were in the right place to do the planet some good: this crew had their act together, and made great green changes in a big way!

Sororities Can Green Their Lives Through Sharing and Eco-Friendly Group Initiatives

Holter Graham — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 09:30:00 GMT

This season Wa$ted did an episode at the Alpha Chi Omega Sorority and last season we spent some great time with a group of young engineers at a fraternity and I was struck by how simply the concept of social lives and social consciousness can be blended together to improve our existence and the life of the planet.
