This fall, Planet Green is bringing you all-new episodes of your favorite shows, including Living with Ed, Emeril Green, and World's Greenest Homes. But new episodes of old favorites aren't the only thing you'll find on the air. Planet Green is unveiling a whole new lineup of original series and acquisitions of the best green programming from around the world.
Here are a few of the highlights:
Ultimate Power Builders
Premiers December 2009
Ultimate Power Builders defy all four basic elements (earth, air, heat, and water) to engineer big, ambitious and environmentally-friendly projects that will shape the Earth's landscape for future generations, while providing unlimited sources of energy. Watch as a carbon neutral city in the Middle East, a skyscraper in China which produces its own power and water, an energy plant that harnesses the power of the atom, and many others evolve into green mega-structures.
Cool Fuel
Premiers September 9, 2009
Shaun Murphy sets out on a 16,000 mile journey across America in vehicles run on anything but gasoline. No vehicle will go untested in this "Coolfuel Challenge" whether it's electric cars, motorcycles, dragsters or even boats! Murphy and his crew try everything to get from points A to B, including solar power, bio-diesel, corn whiskey, hemp or a whole slew of other organic fuels.
Planet Mechanics
Premiers September 8, 2009
Planet Mechanics Dick Strawbridge and Jem Stansfield use eco-engineering smarts and stubborn determination to build energy efficient creations that are equal parts science and art. Watch as this dynamic pair takes viewers on a wild journey of cutting edge technology and elbow grease that includes the successful creation of Britain's first street legal, air driven motorbike, a wood fueled truck and a farm powered solely by cow manure!
The 100 Mile Challenge
Premiers October 12, 2009
Six families in the town of Mission, British Columbia, have accepted a challenge: They will only consume food and drink produced within a 100-mile radius for 100 days. How hard could it be? The 100 Mile Challenge is a food revolution that documents the 100-Milers' progress, revealing the ups and downs, and downright creativity of ordinary citizens as they try to cook three full meals day after day from locally available ingredients.
Nature, INC.
October 13, 2009
How much is nature really worth to the world economy? Can a value be placed on what the global ecosystem provides? Nature, Inc. asks "what if?" and explores the ripple effect the loss of coral reefs, honeybees, and other key species would have on the world.
Toxic Files
Premiers December 2009
An electrician from rural Delaware is struck with a searing headache, blurred vision and dizziness. A six-year-old is no longer able to sleep, battling epic bouts of insomnia and suddenly begins to lose hand control. Two very different cases with one common denominator: environment. Toxic Files takes viewers inside a world of intrigue and shocking revelations as each medical mystery is unraveled symptom by symptom.
Around the World in 90 Minutes
At midnight, travel to the tiny country of Monaco and watch residents riding on a gondola on a beautiful summer night. By 12:05 a.m. you are transported to Canada to watch a gaggle of geese forage for food on a grassy knoll. Seem impossible? Not when the photographs are provided by the International Space Station as it orbits the Earth. Around The World in 90 Minutes tells the spectacular story of what happens around the globe during one 90-minute voyage through a series of high definition images broadcast from thousands of miles away.
Stay tuned to Planet Green to catch these new series and lots of other great new programming.
