This August, TLC is showing reruns of the Planet Green (Discovery Channel's eco-network) show Battleground Earth, in which Ludacris and Tommy Lee "battle against the toxic forces destroying Mother Earth as they travel across the country on a 10-episode tour." Here is a not so glowing review of the show, but maybe it'll be one of those so bad I have to keep watching it shows. In any case, it airs every Thursday at 8 and 11 pm on TLC. According to Ecorazzi, Planet Green has said that the show is supposed to be entertaining and not preachy. I'm interested to see if this is an effective way of involving people who usually don't care, or if it trivializes/waters down the issues too much. I'd like to check out other shows on Planet Green, like Stuff Happens (which stars Bill Nye, because seriously, who doesn't have a soft spot for that guy??)
