mun2 to Air in-Depth News Special: Toxic City: This Is Where I Live


As part of NBC Universal’s “Green Is Universal” week, mun2, the preeminent voice for Latino youth in America, presents “Viva Green,” a week of eco-friendly programming, interactive digital extensions, and a compelling new mun2 news special, Toxic City: This is Where I Live. “Green is Universal,” an ongoing NBC Universal companywide initiative to help raise environmental awareness, will broadcast a special week of green-themed programming from November 4 through November 10.
In maintaining its commitment to creating authentic programming specifically geared for young Latinos, mun2 will incorporate eco-friendly strategies for green living in its original programs including One Nation Under Hip-Hop and The mun2 Shift. In addition, mun2’s hit countdown show, 18 and Over, will rally viewers to submit their best environmental practices for the Top 5 Challenge via text or video to show how they’re making a difference in their home or community. mun2’s signature show, VIVO will also feature special guest and environmental activist Ryan Perez, the main subject of mun2’s upcoming news special, “Toxic City: This is Where I Live.” Finally, the network will air originally created green-themed promos throughout the week with the network's on-air talent, Crash, Yasmin Deliz, Roser, Renato Lopez and Frankie Needles.
As the fourth installment in mun2’s Peabody award-winning news specials, Toxic City: This is Where I Live, profiles Latino youth in highly polluted communities who are taking the lead for their families in causes of environmental justice. Shot in key markets across the country including Los Angeles, Seattle, Atlanta, New York and El Paso as well as Juarez, Mexico, the special report explores how a disproportionate number of U.S. Latinos live and work among industrial waste, noxious pollution, and contaminated communities and how Latino youth are mobilizing to address these environmental issues.
