SHADES OF GREEN THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

~ PlanetGreen, Discovery's soon-to-be launched 24/7 eco-lifestyle network and its sister website, Treehugger.com provide tips for buying green this holiday season ~

November 2007

This holiday season, PlanetGreen, Discovery's soon-to-be launched 24/7 eco-lifestyle network and its sister website, Treehugger.com, are seeing "shades of green" for the holidays. Fronted by eco-model and environmentalist, Summer Rayne Oakes, the campaign will be mobile, online and on air, and is centered around how to buy green gifts for the folks in your life.

Unfortunately, most gift giving and holiday preparation tends to contribute to waste. TreeHugger.com understands that most of us aren't willing to give up the joys of the season, and has created a comprehensive resource to help folks along. TreeHugger.com's 2007 Green Gift Guide is jam-packed with 180 eco-friendly yet stylish gift ideas, tips and resources to address how to incorporate more eco-friendly practices and gift-giving into the holidays.

With content provided in categories for the different kinds of people in your life, Treehugger's editors will take it a step further to do all the guess work for you - providing suggestions within each category for a whole range of greenies - from dark to light green. This is a simple but very useful and unique approach to green gift giving. In addition to products, the guide will feature tips and resources.

The categories for the buying guide are:

For the Activist

For the Geek

For the Person Who Has Everything

For the Animal Lover

For the Green-Thumbed

For the Pint-size

For the Do-It-Yourselfer

For the Jetsetter

For the Yoga Fiend

For the Epicurean

For the New Parent

 

For the Fashionista

For the Outdoors Lover

 

When it launches, Discovery PlanetGreen will be one-of-a-kind network with 24-hour programming dedicated solely to living a green lifestyle. Beginning in 2008, this channel will be the first 24-hour green channel in the United States. The network, expected to debut in over 50 million U.S. homes, will be dedicated to the highest quality programming for a green lifestyle. The network's content will provide entertaining, authentic and quality information for such categories as eco-design, organic food and green architecture.
