Modern, Green Lifestyle Radio Show to Debut on the VoiceAmerica Network
Vivavi.com Founder Josh Dorfman will host The Lazy Environmentalist
Beginning this June, a new radio show will explore the emerging possibilities for effortlessly greening our modern lifestyles. The Lazy Environmentalist will be broadcast on the VoiceAmerica Network, the destination for live internet talk radio, as a source for style savvy consumers interested in protecting the planet without skimping on design.
>From eco-fashion and sustainable furniture, to hybrid cars and solar charging backpacks, the last few years have witnessed an explosion of ecologically-minded activity within the design community. The Lazy Environmentalist will highlight the products and services as well as the designers and entrepreneurs who are making the modern green lifestyle a reality. Josh Dorfman, founder and CEO of Vivavi.com, a destination for contemporary, eco-friendly fashion, furniture and furnishings, is the host and co-creator of the show.
"Most of us care strongly about the environment and most of us are pretty lazy when it comes to doing something about it," says Dorfman. "Now it's not only easy, but totally cool and design-driven."
Each week an hour-long episode will cover a different aspect of contemporary green living including eco-fashion, sustainable furniture, green building and architecture, eco-travel, and sustainable transportation. Dorfman's guests will be the designers and entrepreneurs who are actively pushing sustainable living into the mainstream.
"The idea of integrating environmental principles into mainstream products and services has been circulating within the design community for a long time." says Dorfman. "However, it's just within the last couple of years that the forces of technology, commerce and environmental necessity have begun to align in ways that enable more and more eco-designers to move from concept to prototype to saleable product, be it a shirt or sofa or high-rise apartment building."
The Lazy Environmentalist will air on Mondays at 4 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the VoiceAmerica Health & Wellness Channel. Listeners can tune in at www.health.voiceamerica.com. The show begins on Monday, June 6th with initial guests to include Graham Hill, founder of Treehugger.com, the definitive online source for modern, green lifestyle trends. Treehugger's network of global writers continually combs the planet for cutting-edge, environmentally responsible products and ideas.
The first episode will also feature David Hermance, Executive Engineer for Environmental Engineering at Toyota Technical Center U.S.A (TTC). Representing one of The Lazy Environmentalist's key themes - sustainable transportation -- David will discuss hybrid automobile developments at Toyota and throughout the automobile industry and offer a glimpse into the nation's sustainable driving future.
Aligning contemporary design with environmental responsibility is a focal point for Dorfman who launched Vivavi.com in 2003 for that express purpose. As more and more opportunities abound for consumers to bring these two interests together, Dorfman is at the forefront of a profound shift towards a modern green lifestyle.
