BURLINGTON, VT -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/16/09 -- Finally, help arrives to separate "green" myth from fact with the help of Seventh Generation and the Fine Living Network. On April 22 -- Earth Day 2009 -- join environmental activist, advocate, and Seventh Generation President Jeffrey Hollender as he separates myth from reality when it comes to the conventional wisdom of green living. "Big Green Lies" airs at 9PM ET/PT, on FLN.

From the corridors of power to the halls of your home, follow the crew of BIG GREEN LIES as they perform mad science, track down the partisan experts, expert partisans, average citizens, rabid researchers, and other oracles who think they've got the ecological answers you're seeking. Tune in as host and Seventh Generation CEO Jeffrey Hollender dispatches his team of off-kilter operatives to locations around an overheated globe to separate ecological facts from fiction, addressing the issues that no one's had the chutzpah to take on until now. Take a sneak peak at some of our attitudes to a few myths (yes, yours and mine!) at http://www.biggreenlies.com.

"As the name implies, 'Big Green Lies' aims to reveal the falsehoods behind prevalent green myths and settle long-standing debates," said Jeffrey Hollender. "Our gang of green pundits will conduct person-on-the-street interviews, talk to experts and partisans, and concoct experiments that aim to better inform people about the facts of green living while uncovering the lies. We hope you find the show informative, funny, and clever, but never mean-spirited. We'll gauge the health, taste, and cost effects of going organic. We'll settle the debate over cloth vs. disposable diapers. Our crack investigative team will uncover the truth about 'grass-fed' beef: Is it really good for the environment? And we'll take on the Big Green Lie that the air quality in your home is better than it is outside. There are many, many Big Green Lies out there that need our attention." Take a sneak peak at http://www.biggreenlies.com and find out if your attitudes, ideas and knowledge match those of our own men (and women) on the street!
