Green Gotham is a web series co-developed and hosted by Lew Blaustein, who received his training as a climate reality leader by Al Gore at The Climate Reality Project: climaterealityproject.org/training. This, along with his enthusiasm, charm and gift for gab made him a clear choice to host this series. A star is born!
In the classic talk show format aimed squarely at community outreach, Lew invited award-winning and notable educators, entrepreneurs, conservationists, scientists and activists - all passionate for environmental solutions. From fighting fracking in Brooklyn to serving farm-to-table food to the underprivileged in the South Bronx, each of their stories is unique and inspiring.
Lew and I co-developed Green Gotham in 2013. By 2015, we completed our 2nd season with two key achievements:
1) an uptick in viewership overseas, to include Germany, the Philippines and Switzerland, and
2) Lew's Facebook reach, which increased by 139% after the 1st episode and by 240% halfway through the season.
Since Lew's first on-camera appearance on Green Gotham in 2014, he hosted his first podcast in 2020 called Green Sports Pod: https://greensportsblog.com/greensportspod-episode-1-guest-dr-allen-hershkowitz and founded EcoAthletes: http://ecoathletes.org.
