Since last year’s debut of the Planet Green channel it was and still is, the first and only network fully dedicated to protecting and preserving the planet. So in celebration of the 39th anniversary of Earth Day on April 22, Planet Green’s parent network Discovery will launch a month-long, multi-platform Earth Day celebration. Featuring original eco-focused content across its family of networks, digital platforms and mobile channels.
