Other short-form series set to air on PlanetGreen.com prior to their television debut include Organic A to Z, with 26 2- to 5-minute episodes in which chef Gregory Schaefer highlights cooking with organic foods; and Bea Wildered, a 6×90-second animated series, premiering in November, about a 30-something female in New York who learns about the environment and teaches her neighbors about sustainable living. The online content slate also includes My Place, another animated series for a November debut, with 10 90-second episodes chronicling the daily struggle of a witty, charming woman trying to be more eco-conscious in a world that doesn’t always make it easy to do the right thing.
