Mario's Green House

By Environment Man

I recently chatted with Mario at the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) 39th Annual Legislative Conference at the Convention Center in Washington, D.C. I almost shot a segment with him when he was taping the show last year, but our schedules and some technical circumstances prevented it from happening. I like what Mario is doing with His "Mario's Green House." He keeps it real.

Mario Van Peebles, left, son of Melvin Van Peebles, right, debuts his new environmental-reality television series "Mario’s Green House" on TV One this Sunday, September 27th at 6PM EST. Mario will show how families can go green at home. "Mario’s Green House" is a comedic look at how his family renovates their new home and lives to have less impact on the planet.

From the official site:

Mario has made a resolution to go green and he’s taking the family along the journey with him. He embarks on a massive eco-sensitive renovation of his house and hopes that the renovation will be a creative and meaningful project for his entire family, With a busy Hollywood career and a full-time job as Dad, Mario soon learns that major construction is just the tip of the iceberg when he needs a whole lifestyle makeover.
