Urban Conversion

Urban Conversion is television show that was created by Rodman Schley in 2009. In 2015, the show will begin airing nationally on PBS via APT. Urban Conversion is a movement that focuses on creating modern day green lifestyles in urban environments. With measurable goals and unique concepts, Urban Conversion provides green solutions for urban dwellings and communities. What happens when you take a conservative city slicker, and drop him into an “extreme green” off-the-grid lifestyle? You get Urban Conversion! There is currently a global movement to create sustainable homestead–type lifestyles in urban areas, and in the world of “going-green”, Rodman Schley is eager to learn about what he can do to make positive sustainable changes in his own life. Rodman is a fiscally conservative businessman, who is on a socially responsible quest to reduce his own current carbon footprint. From raising chickens and goats in the city, to making the switch to renewable energy resources, host Rodman learns how to make the ultimate conversion from his current urban business lifestyle, to an environmentally friendly lifestyle. Experience the internal conflict and humor that ensues, as the worlds of the extreme green and conservative city slicker collide. Urban Conversion is about educating Rodman, and ultimately educating urbanites about making small changes that can significantly reduce their negative environmental impact. Travel across the country with us as we seek out the extremes of going green!
