Is there a topic missing? If so, it’s because you haven’t suggested it to us. Contact Producer Don Fitz at fitzdon@aol.com or 314-727-8554 for topics, guests or documentaries you would like to be on Green Time.

Would you like to receive training to help produce Green Time. The show is looking for people to operate cameras and the sound board, set up lights, coordinate technical production, shoot footage in the field, research and host episodes, and edit the finished product. Everyone is welcome; but, those with computer skills are particularly in need.
