We reported in February that the Discovery Health Channel was adding a new natural living show to their lineup. Now Discovery Communications is announcing something even bigger: they’re adding a whole new network. Called Discovery PlanetGreen, the network will be one-of-a-kind with 24-hour programming dedicated solely to living a green lifestyle.

Planet Green is the first and only 24-hour eco-lifestyle television network with a robust online presence and community. Launching in June 2008, on-air content will reach 50 million homes with more than 250 hours of original green lifestyle programming. Both online and on-air, Plant Green's content is entertaining, relevant, and accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds. By representing a broad range of ideas and perspectives, Planet Green is taking an active role in generating conversation and motivating individuals to take action when it comes to improving the environmental status of our planet.

The first-and so far only-24-hour eco-lifestyle television network, Discovery's Planet Green will be making its debut when it takes over the Discovery Home Channel at 6 p.m. (ET) on June 4, 2008.
