New EcoSense For Living Episodes Premiere on Atlanta?s GPB for Earth Month
Eco-Hazards in the Home and Body Exposed
CNN?s Sanjay Gupta and Environmental Experts Join Host & Producer Jennie Turner Garlington
Atlanta ? January 31, 2013 ? Two new episodes of the popular environmental series EcoSense for Living will premiere on Georgia Public Broadcasting during April for Earth Month. Focusing on ecohazards in your home and in your body, each 30-minute episode features quick tips and interviews with a host of experts including CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Sanjay Gupta, Ken Cook, the director of the Environmental Working Group, Environmentalist Laurie David and others. The series founder, producer and host is Atlanta native Jennie Turner Garlington whose father, Ted Turner, instilled deep environmental consciousness in her and in his entire family.
Today, as an environmental media champion, former CNN producer, mother and concerned citizen,Jennie embraces her father?s sustainability views. Because she is passionate about providing for future generations, she developed EcoSense for Living, which began as a PSA series in 2005. It received such high acclaim that she quickly developed a 30-minute episode of the same name featuring Clark Howard. That first show offered environmentally friendly ways to save money everyday around the house and led to three subsequent episodes, one of which won a regional Emmy in 2011.
?Our two latest episodes of EcoSense for Living are especially near to my heart because although toxins are everywhere,? Jennie said, ?in many cases, it?s pretty easy to keep yourself ? and your children ? more healthy with just a little education. My goal with ?Environmental Body Makeover? and ?Environmental Home Makeover? is to give people some easy-to-use tips to help us all live better lives and enjoy improved health.?
EcoSense for Living: Environmental Body Makeover, episode 5, takes a close look at some of the food that?s making us sick. Dr. Sanjay Gupta from CNN, Ken Cook and Dr. Andrew from the Integrative Medicine, and Environmentalist Laurie David join Jennie and discuss hidden toxins in foods. Useful and quick tips include shopping the outer aisles of the grocery store for less processed items and choosing meat that is hormone-free. Shauna K. Young, PhD joins for a look at how a manganese-free diet helped a young boy with autism make remarkable strides.
EcoSense for Living: Environmental Home Makeover, episode 6, welcomes back Dr. Gupta and Ken Cook and introduces Pete Myers from the Environmental Working Group. Together they take a look at common household products with potentially harmful ingredients. From cell phones to water bottles to?flooring to kitchen utensils to thermal paper receipts, Jennie and her team explain how to avoid these dangers. Tips include always use a hands-free device to keep your cell phone away from your brain and
use wooden or stainless steel utensils (not plastic) when cooking with high heat .
