green.tv is a broadband TV channel for films about environmental issues. It is managed by the film production and web development agency, largeblue, with key partners the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)and Greenpeace International.
Content is shown via 10 different content streams - Air, Land, Water, Technologies, Climate Change, People, Species, News, Kids and Features - as well as 'Partner' channels. Content comes from a variety of sources including environmental NGOs and charities, Government agencies, businesses with strong 'green' credentials as well as individuals who can upload films directly to the site. In addition, about a quarter of the films on green.tv are made 'in-house' by largeblue.
All content on green.tv is available on multiple formats including handheld devices. Films are typically 2 - 6 minutes long and further information and links to relevant sources are provided for each.
