I vibrated blissfully last weekend at the green business fair at the LA Convention Center. I missed Ed Begley Jr on Friday, but then, I’ve got a whole video tape full of the guy from his book presentation. Here we have panelists KPFK radio host Sherry Beall and Boise Thomas from Discovery Channel Planet Green’s show Alter Eco. He told me that sadly they don’t know what’s next for that show and if they’d find another main topic to continue for another season. Adrian Grenier, main man of Alter Eco, goes on with Entourage though. Josh Dorfman was as spirited as the other two and while they constantly called for the public’s comments, they couldn’t stop talking themselves, truly exited about their projects. Dorfman wrote “The Lazy Environmentalist” and is about to publish a sequel for the lower budget folks. He’s also developing a show with the same name for Sundance Channel – if they come through we’ll should be in with a segment on “how to create green weddings” the lazy way. Their philosophy: be green the easy way but don’t stress it. My comment: a little effort isn’t bad looking at a feverish world. But I agree wholeheartedly that we can’t convince anybody to live mindful if it’s freaking them out and adds more worries to an already full plate. Then we have Mariel Hemingway, actress gone green. She promoted her book: “Healthy Living from the Inside Out” with the convincing tag line: our first home is our body. Makes sense to start there if we wanna be green in a broader sense. She’s 47 and gave up being vegan a little while ago, exchanging her diet with vegetarian options and applying a Feng Shui approach to body, mind and other dwellings.
GLiving is for the “cool green” people… check if you are oe of them.
