GREENWORKS, PIONEERING ENVIRONMENTAL TELEVISION,
COMES TO WYBE

PHILADELPHIA (November 3, 2000) GreenWorks for Pennsylvania, the Emmy award winning television series about positive ways Pennsylvanians tackle environmental challenges, will begin a season run on WYBE Public Television, on Saturday, November 4. GreenWorks is produced in Philadelphia.

This is GreenWorks' first series run on public television since its inception in 1997.
"We are thrilled that WYBE is including GreenWorks in their lineup," said Tim Schlitzer, Executive Producer of GreenWorks. "This is proof that meaningful, community-building television is alive and well in the Delaware Valley."

GreenWorks also airs on Public Access stations throughout Pennsylvania, including Drexel University's DUTV. Individual GreenWorks episodes have also aired on public television stations, including WHYY-TV 12.

GreenWorks is a television news magazine about the visionaries among us who make environmental protection part of their everyday lives. The steps they take, small though they may seem, show that health and quality of life are linked to environment, and that each of us can have a positive impact on our own communities. GreenWorks is a storyteller that inspires the public.

In September, GreenWorks won the 2000 Mid-Atlantic Emmy for Outstanding Public Affairs Series. The show's other accolades include Telly Awards and placement in the US International Film and Video Festival and the 2000 Philadelphia Festival of World Cinema.
GreenWorks will air on WYBE Saturdays at 1 pm. WYBE airs on channel 35 in Philadelphia, and on other channels in surrounding areas.

GreenWorks for Pennsylvania is a production of the Environmental Fund for Pennsylvania, a non-profit organization. The series is funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), individuals and corporate donors.
