GreenWorks Variety Show

Watch the video now!

Length: 27 minutes

Watch Pennsylvanians who are working to improve our environment in a "variety" of ways. This episode of the award winning Green Works for Pennsylvania TV show features a potpourri of topics with the hope that you will "try out" your own ways of protecting the environment.

This episode highlights:

• A "BioBlitz" in Allegheny County's Frick Park, sponsored by the Carnegie Museum of Natural History-for 24 hours, citizen volunteers assist scientists in tracking down every living thing in order to monitor the park's biodiversity and educate the public;

• The Energy Efficiency Funding Group, a consulting firm dedicated to increasing energy efficiency and reducing energy costs, which helped the City of Philadelphia save big bucks;

• Hershey Foods' employee-led Recycling and Waste Reduction program, which enables Hershey to recycle or reuse 95% of its manufacturing waste and save over $1 million per year;

• The Lehigh River Watch Program, a partnership between Parkland High School in SouthWhitehall Township and the Wildlands Conservancy, through which students monitor the quality of the Lehigh River and find sources of its pollution,

• Rob McCombie of the Kiski-Conemaugh Watershed, who describes the efforts of citizens throughout southwestern Pennsylvania to clean up streams damaged by acid mine drainage;

• Green Works Volunteer of the Month, Karen Frank of Allegheny County, who works with the Allegheny Land Trust on the Dead Man's Hollow Wildlife Preserve.

GreenWorks TV hosts Tom Sexton and Jaime Smith hold auditions for a "Variety Show" of their own-laugh at the wacky side of GreenWorks, as people display talent and skills that vary as much as the ways available to improve our environment.
