TreeHugger TV Premieres Tonight!

TreeHugger was founded almost six years ago by Graham Hill in order to show that "being green" was not just for the stereotypical hippie environmentalist crowd. (Not that there's anything wrong with that!) But it could be so much more.

Now, they're pleased to announce that they're expanding their reach even further with the launch of TreeHugger TV!

Since launching in 2004, they have been expanding their reach and helping to show that sustainability can be mainstream. In August 2007, TreeHugger.com was acquired by Discovery Communications to help launch Planet Green, the first 24/7 cable network devoted to sustainability...and it only took them this long to get their own show!

Airing on Planet Green, TreeHugger TV will portray the variety of issues we've come to expect from TreeHugger online, but in a live and more in-depth format. In the first episode, reps from Seventh Generation, the eco-friendly company we all know and love, will be on hand to test air quality in various places. They're going to run errands with a VOC meter in an effort to determine what's in the air that most people are exposed to on a daily basis.

The results they expect to find? Probably what others have warned about before: that indoor air pollution can be 100 times the level of outdoor air pollution—and it can come from some pretty surprising sources.

That doesn't mean we can't improve it—try some indoor plants and a few other basic steps.

Check out Treehugger TV—Treehugger's fun and exciting new platform where they hope to continue growing and spreading the green word—to learn more.

Best of Green 2010

With their inaugural Best of Green Awards last year, TreeHugger's editors and writers put their heads together to name more than 170 winners across eight topics, bringing us the people, places, products, companies, and ideas that are pushing the green movement forward. This year, they asked for our help nominating the most deserving people and things from the world green. We responded with hundreds of nominations in fashion, transportation, energy, food, politics, business, design, and much, much more. After poring over our suggestions, and adding some of their own, they bring to us the next phase of Best of Green 2010 - the Readers' Choice Awards. Now it's our turn to pick the cream of the crop. Through April 2, we can vote in more than 40 prize categories across our eight main topics. They'll announce the Readers' Choice winners the week of April 12, when they'll roll out their editors' picks, too!

Earth Hour 2010

In March 2009, hundreds of millions of people took part in the third Earth Hour. Over 4000 cities in 88 countries officially switched off to pledge their support for the planet, making Earth Hour 2009 the world’s largest global climate change initiative.

Earth Hour 2010 takes place on Saturday 27 March at 8.30pm (local time) and is a global call to action to every individual, every business and every community throughout the world. It is a call to stand up, to take responsibility, to get involved and lead the way towards a sustainable future. Iconic buildings and landmarks from Europe to Asia to the Americas will stand in darkness. People across the world from all walks of life will turn off their lights and join together in celebration and contemplation of the one thing we all have in common – our planet. So sign up now and let’s make 2010 the biggest Earth Hour yet!
