Remy here! I am experimenting with a new EEAY blog. In essence, these newsy notes that I often forward will be recorded at eeay.blogspot.com. You will still get the notes…just that now, the news will be posted for the world to see.

www.green.tv is the brainchild of environmental film Director/Producer, Ade Thomas: green.tv will be a kind of green Google for green films. If you want to see a news item about climate change, watch a kids’ story about penguins or a feature about wind farms, go to www.green.tv and you’ll be able to see some engaging and thought-provoking films about the environment, at a time when a greater understanding and awareness of these issues is critical.”
www.green.tv will carry films from around the world produced by NGOs, community filmmakers, public sector bodies and companies with a firm interest in protecting our environment.
Elliot Morley, UK Environment Minister, said: “There are more people using the internet than watching TV and we also know that there is enormous interest in environmental issues. I think green.tv has tremendous potential, bringing together new technology and innovation in terms of how we spread information.”
www.green.tv will have seven channels covering: air, land, water, climate change, people, species and technologies. In each of these channels there’ll be a feature, a news item and a kids story. green.tv will have the look and feel of a global TV channel but it will combine this with the best elements of the internet, giving users access to online chatrooms and the ability to watch video on demand.
www.green.tv will be online in a form where everyone can view some fantastic video content about the environment. All they’ll need is a broadband connection and all of green.tv’s films will be available to view in full screen, no matter what browser or media player people are using,” Thomas added.
