GreenovationTVWe all share one planet. GreenovationTV wants to redefine television and redefine home.GreenovationTV’s mission is to provide practical information in an entertaining format to help green every home in America, starting with yours.Greening our homes is the best way to save money, help the economy, create jobs, make our homes more comfortable and help to avoid climate catastrophe and protect the one home we share.Here are the facts: There are 130 million existing homes in the U.S. Over half are more than 35 years old. 58 million have zero insulation. Our homes consume 22% of the energy in the U.S. In order to tackle energy independence, the water crisis, and climate disruption, we must retrofit every home in America to be more energy and water efficient. Ultimately, every home should be able to produce its own energy, capture its own water, and manage its own waste.
