Years ago, back in the dark days of pre-Green Fad-dom (2004), our smoggy future looked black. Four years later, (as you’ve heard) Green is the new Black. What happened?
A significant player in our society’s shift has been Graham Hill’s Treehugger.com—a popular web site whose modern, hip, thorough approach to environmentally-responsible journalism helped catalyze the momentum that came out of Gore’s Inconvenient Truth—and turn our nation’s newfound inspiration into practical, effective action.
Now, Treehugger’s joined up with the Discovery Network to launch Planet Green, the first 24-hour eco-focused TV channel—and the dream home if ever there was one for yours truly—’elevision’—elephant journal’s fun, yet fundamentally serious talk show.
elephant journal’s editor-in-chief, Waylon Lewis, asks Graham how and why he’s done so much—what’s next—and, in a coarse attempt to curry favor in Planet Green’s circles for his nightly talk show, ‘elevision,’ slips Graham a fiver.

I used to live in a tree. No really. Stumbled over your website…it’s interesting. Green as aspirational? Hmmmm…. the philosophy of green thinking is axiomatic…so little resource v so many people. Re tree dwelling…I’m drawn back…give it up, let it go. Simplicity is everything. Peace! PS - comfort’s overrated.

Another great interview. I’m going to echo Winston’s comment… Elevision really should be on Planet Green!

Elevision should be a show on Planet Green. Make it happen, Graham Hill.

As usual, Waylon’s witty and profound interview rocks. It is always exciting to view Elephant’s (his) interviews because Waylon deciphers the messages from the guests in a way that is entertaining but always inquisitive and informative. Waylon’s deep understanding of the issues is never accessorized with big words but rather tries to break the ice with jokes with the guests to get some true inner feelings out. Great Job, Waylon!
