5 Green YouTube Channels To Check Out


By Vicki Zambito

There is no shortage of information when it comes to learning how to incorporate sustainable practices in your every day life. As I mentioned in my previous GreenView post, just google “environmental websites” and you get 31 million results. If you visit YouTube and search for videos on “green living”, you get 132,000 results. So the problem isn’t finding the information, it’s culling it down into something less overwhelming and more manageable. I thought I would help you out. Below are five YouTube Channels I found that are the “real deal” when it comes to giving good green tips and advice. They are in no particular order.

1. Building Green TV: http://www.youtube.com/user/buildinggreentv

This channel includes highlights from Building Green TV (BGTV), a pioneering and entertaining eco-lifestyle television series airing on PBS. Each week, BGTV's host, Kevin Contreras, explores the latest innovations, techniques and products available for making any home greener, more energy efficient and better for the environment. BGTV shows viewers how consciousness can be upscale in a way that speaks as much to our sense of style as it does our sense of responsibility.
