Tonight at 6 p.m. Eastern Time, Discovery launches its new Planet Green channel, which it describes as an “eco-lifestyle” channel with programs about environmental issues and green living.

Not only does this sound like a great idea for a TV channel, but it’s the home of Emeril Lagasse’s Emeril Green, in which the celebrity chef will help you learn how to cook with fresh, local ingredients. And, as we’ve told you before, Emeril is taping the show at the Fair Lakes Whole Foods where one our markets is located! He has already visited the market and talked to our vendors, and we’re looking forward to being a part of his show.

The New York Times ran an article earlier this week previewing the launch of Planet Green. Check out the article — it also links to a video clip of Emeril, and I’m pretty sure that you can see the Fair Lakes Whole Foods behind him.
