British family goes green, will make biodiesel on US TV
A British family, the Strawbridges, is just trying to go green. They grow organic foods, pretty much eliminate fossil fuels from their lifestyle and try to produce as little waste as possible. They do this while a BBC crew follows them to film an eight-part, half-hour documentary series. Yesterday, Sundance Channel announced that this series, "Its Not Easy Being Green", will be coming to the US on the station's The Green primetime block early next year. I bet for a lot of viewers, watching the Strawbridge family make biodiesel on TV will be their first exposure to the homebrew process. The same's probably true for solar-heated shower and permaculture, and it's high time this sort of stuff reached more people. Being green's not all that hard, is it?

Head of the family Lt. Col. Dick Strawbridge may already be familiar to US viewers as he appeared in 'Junkyard Mega-Wars'.

Col. Strawbridge was one of the coolest guys ever on Junkyard wars. I can't wait to see him in action again.

Dear Editor,
I found this comment whilst looking at green isues, it is from Mr Dickie Strawbridge TV's favourite moustache.

The best idea I’ve seen to tackle climate change is…
I’m working with a company that has found a way of capturing CO2 emissions from internal combustion engines, which could mean that soon cars, power stations and any form of motor powered by fossil fuels won’t contribute to climate change.
If this company has achieved this as Mr Strawbridge is saying then we are looking at the next Industrial revolution as discribed by Mr Gordon Brown earlier in the week.
The comments were of this being worth Trillions to the British Economy and a million new jobs for UK workers.
Does anybody know who they are as every company in the country, nether mind the world will need there services. If Al Gore got a Nobel peace prize for a film on Climte Change, what will these guys get for actually halting it?
I look forward to reading the next issue, maybe finding out who they are?
Yours truly
Clare.
