A half-hour program that delivers eco-living basics to your door. Using humor and down-to-earth examples, GOINGGREEN answers, What can I personally do to help solve the environmental problems facing us today? Narrated by Tony Shalhoub, GOINGGREEN tours the original Eco-Home™ with a group of middle-school kids who see first-hand some simple, inexpensive ways to become more earth-friendly. Guided by eco-pioneer Julia Russell, Founding Director of Eco-Home™ Network, the children discover sun pipes that light up a room without electricity, drought-tolerant, California Friendly® gardening, toxic household products, munch on organic apples from one of Julia's 28 fruit trees, compost for the organic garden, get to know what a graywater system is, and make juice from tomatoes they picked right off the vine. They learn, hands-on, how to compost and have fun watching the progress of several serious-looking bugs that Julia describes as a crucial part of the "composting team." The kids ask questions and then come up with some of the answers. GOINGGREEN shows us how we can live earth-friendly lives on a limited budget, even in the middle of a city. Narrated by environmentally aware triple Emmy Award winner Tony Shalhoub (Monk). Running time is 24:20.

Funding for the GoingGreen program was provided by Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, Sanitation Districts of Los AngelesCounty and Los Angeles Department of Public Works.
