I met a John Herman (a pretty cool guy) at a conference this weekend. And he let me in on a little project he had worked on that might become something larger. I thought it would be cool over the next week or so to highlight the Energy Smackdown. It is a show about three families trying to reduce their carbon footprint. It happens over a 5 month period and may be turned into a larger show in the future. I like the idea of a show that combines Americans hunger for “reality tv” with practical tips for living a greener lifestyle.
