Waylon Lewis featured on Planet Green TV, prime-time Earth Day special. Showtimes all week.

It aired last night for first time, and will air tonight and all week. Schedule. Update: part of my appearances on the show are here (minus introduction).

My cameo was short & sweet. They cut two interviews and tour of green-renovated house (including lack-of-fridge), probably ’cause my minutes were filled with the other I’m-so-proud-of-Boulder spots that I recommended they check out…like The Kitchen, which they filmed composting and biodieseling. So a bit of a let-down, but hey that’s big media. In any case, fun. “Doing more than anyone else, the everyday hero…” and “Waylon Lewis is a bachelor” in the deep sonorous voice of ABC’s Bob Woodruff (who was co-anchor for awhile, and got bombed in Irag, disfiguring half his face somewhat).

“Waylon hangs his laundry just like his ma taught him back in the day, got rid of his fridge, got rid of car and bikes around.” Something like that. They filmed me composting, and said that I made the biggest difference of all. What they meant was that little ordinary people like I make the biggest difference. They didn’t include interview, mention of national eco magazine I started, or our web site. Well, that’s showbiz!

Good Morning America/ABC came by my green-renovated Victorian, Hotelephant, last month, and filmed me doing my thing as part of their partnership with Planet Green…for a prime-time Earth Day special. All thanks to Ryan Van Duzer, who sent them my way knowing that I was a silly green composting refrigeratorless laundry-hanging eco home livin’kinda boy. It’s on tonight—though I won’t believe I made the cut until I see it.

You’ll meet them, and, at the end, find out which of these inspirational people has the most powerful impact of all on our planet.
