WA$TED!
Actress, author and activist, Annabelle Gurwitch, proves that American
homeowners don't have to go to extremes to be green. Coming back for its
second season, Planet Green's series Wa$ted! takes the average household full
of eco-horrors and turns it into a clean, green haven, saving participants
serious cash in the process. Every week, the Wa$ted! team, led by Annabelle
along with co-host, Holter Graham, audits a household's waste and its energy,
water, and transportation consumption. Each household has three weeks to
reduce its consumption, going on a "green regime" to clean up their act. All
improvements in energy efficiency and waste reduction are awarded to the
households, dollar for dollar, for the recognized savings in the three weeks.
Planet Green then multiplies those savings by the projected savings for the
year per household as a nice cash bonus for all participants.

Watch as Annabelle and Holter:
-- Help businesses, individuals, sororities reduce their carbon
footprints;
-- visit a beauty salon, fire station, and a multi-generational family
where everyone has a different definition of what "green"
means;

this tough economic environment; and
