Building Green is a labor of passion. Producer and host Kevin Contreras is as fiercely committed to building awareness as he is to building houses, which is why he and other like-minded individuals are now developing media to do just that.

Building Green TV`s mission is to provide homeowners with a glimpse of just how easy, cost-effective and healthy it is to go green, while dispelling the myth that an environmentally conscious lifestyle means doing without.

Through our nationally-aired TV series, Kevin takes viewers on a highly personal journey, showing them exactly what it’s like for an “ordinary guy” to make the commitment to go green.

On our website, buildinggreentv.com, we provide detailed how-to information and connect readers with resources. As fans of the social network, we also offer readers a place to share their own stories and tips, and to interact directly with Kevin himself and an ever-growing roster of self-taught green building mavens and experts alike.

Filming Green

Filming a television show is a process with a lot of moving parts, but we make every effort to film green. Here are a few of the ways we incorporate the "reduce, reuse, recycle" ethic into our workdays:

    Many employees are located in home offices all over the country
    Production vehicle runs on straight veggie oil
    Recycling bins are everywhere
    The production office is lit by natural light with solar electric and heating
    Rechargeable batteries are used for all equipment
    Lunches are made communal style, to eliminate trash from brought in food
    When traveling, the crew carries lunch pails, utensils and stainless liquid containers to avoid paper or plastic products
    Recycled and compostable paper products and biobags are used when necessary
    We consolidated travel involving sales, shooting for season one, and other seasons every trip
    We hire local crews to eliminate transportation.
