Green Health Live is an online talk show (which is part of a larger video and entertainment site) that does weekly segments on how to live greener and educate people on green issues that they may not be aware of. I watched a few episodes (The Fish and Recycling episodes are good) and I like the style that they use, it's not preachy or boring (as content like that *could* be in another person's hands) and actually makes it fun to learn about how to do your part for the environment. It caters towards the general public which is really nice, especially if you don't know a lot of the acronyms or technologies that are just thrown around nowadays. Personally, in this age of fast-food entertainment, if you lose my attention or go over my head for even a second, my hand is already on the back button to see the newest Youtube viral video.

Of the episodes that I saw, Mark kept it interesting with his funny quips and comments, and co-host Carrie is a good bastion of knowledge on the medical aspect of each show. I think just the fact that he sports a faux-hawk while talking and interviewing guests is entertainment enough, but then again, I just have a natural predilection towards mohawks. Jeff will talking a little bit about the industry/business, but the focus of the interview will be on more informational topics such as
  • What LED stands for and how it works
  • Comparing and contrasting with conventional incandscent bulbs and fluorescent lights
  • Environmental impact and health implications of each
  • Cost and savings of LED technology
  • Interesting stories and thoughts
It should be interesting to see how well Jeff does, and if anything, this will be a great resource for people that want to find out about or want a general introduction about LEDs. I'll be posting the video up after it's finished tonight. Stay tuned! Or better yet, watch the show and submit a question!

# LEDs produce more light per watt than incandescent bulbs; this is useful in battery powered or energy-saving devices.[27]
# LEDs can emit light of an intended color without the use of color filters that traditional lighting methods require. This is more efficient and can lower initial costs.
# The solid package of the LED can be designed to focus its light. Incandescent and fluorescent sources often require an external reflector to collect light and direct it in a usable manner.
