Ludacris and Tommy Lee

The hard-charging, hard-partying, carbon-laden world of tour bus-living musicians doesn't exactly scream green! Now, Planet Green challenges two icons to join the newest trend in music; 'going green.' BATTLEGROUND EARTH: LUDACRIS vs. TOMMY LEE challenges hip hop superstar Chris "Ludacris" Bridges and rock god Tommy Lee to battle against the toxic forces destroying Mother Earth as they travel across the country on a 10-episode tour.

Viewers witness the two stars pushed to the limit as they attempt to keep their high-wattage acts on an eco-friendly course. Enlisting the help of their posses, aka "ecorages," and various guest stars to help them get to the finish line.

Throughout the tour they battle to get the word out about the state of the environment. This Rap n' Roll battle culminates in a green carpet benefit concert at LA's legendary Greek Theatre. The concert featuring Luda, Tommy Lee and many of their famous musician friends raised more than $33,000, including a donation from Treeland, benefiting the renewal of Griffith Park, which was devastated by recent wildfires.

BATTLEGROUND EARTH is not about winning the race but ultimately raising awareness about the environment. Spots called "Pass it On" featuring an eclectic group of celebrities including Magic Johnson, Wayne Brady, Travis Tritt, and Criss Angel, among others, offer eco tips to viewers and are featured throughout the 10-episodes.
