3:30pm ET: Disaster DIY “Easy to be Green”
Amy and Alex are trying to go green. She has terrible allergies, and he doesn’t want to waste a thing, so Bryan will teach them that it’s easy to be green when doing a basement reno, using products and practices that have a great environmental profile.

Green Force “Native Community Centre”
The Native Child and Family Services of Toronto (NCFST) bought a house to address the needs of the large First Nation’s population mostly living in subsidized housing in the local area. In June of this year the agency purchased a second house that is joined in the back yard to the house they presently run services out of. The problem is that the two back yards combine for 3,170 sq. ft. of pure asphalt. This is where Carson and his Green Force team come in and help this First Nation’s population gets back to its roots. Carson is using The Canadian Shield as his design inspiration for this episode, which includes a cascading waterfall that drains into a dry riverbed, tons of natural stone and the planting of the four medicine plants that are the backbone of Native culture.

Hi: I’m desperately trying to find a way to contact the producers of Green Force or Carson Arthur. Can’t find any way in through the HGTV site for this show. The York Centre for Children, Youth and Families…a mental health centre has purchased and now renovating an ancient surplus school for day programs….no money for reinventing outside spaces. If you can help, or pass this on, I’d appreciate it.

Merrily,
Contact Tricon Productions in Toronto and ask for David Coulter. Green Force is looking for new spaces for this season.
Good Luck

Hello Carson,
I am a fan of the show. I was wondering if you worked on any homes outside of Ontario. Unfortunatly most of the shows only work around Toronto.
Thank you,
Lezlie
