The Green Channel is an online streaming service that showcases compelling, investigative and thought-provoking environmental films. We’re a subscription-based service and are completely ad-free, so you can focus on the good bits without any distractions. Learn more about us.
When you sign up for The Green Channel, you are helping the environment. We believe the first step to solving an environmental problem is knowing about it. Your subscription fees support the making of environmental content. We offer carefully hand-picked content that's hard to find anywhere else online. We also produce and commission original content about the environment.
Simply by buying environmental films, we support the filmmakers that create them. As our subscriber base grows, so will our license fees. Our subscribers can also make an additional donation to any one of our filmmakers. Please contact us directly on how to donate to a specific filmmaker you like that is on our channel. Any amount, any time and we will pass the donation on to your favourite filmmaker.
When you sign up, choose a film or filmmaker that’s important to you and write their name in the How did you hear about us? box. We’ll give that filmmaker a bonus on their fees.
We remaster old films that might otherwise be lost in the digital age. We also have a unique folder called “Public Interest”. In this folder you will find raw or lightly edited content about the environment that has not been made into a finished film. We feel that this content is important for research and educational purposes and want to make it available to the public.
The Green Channel looks for compelling films that give a voice to a any one of the world’s species or an environmental issue. You will find films about climate change to endangered species to ones about salmon fisheries to food sustainability and more. Many of our films are investigative in style and we hope revealing and informative. We are also commissioning some comedies and are about to launch a live stand up comedy night about the environment.
We’re also proud of our selection of remastered older films and of our hundreds of hours of raw, unedited footage documenting environmental events of public interest. And we are expanding our library to include series, dramas and children's programs.
We add new content weekly, especially on Wednesdays!

Scott Renyard founded The Green Channel. Scott is a filmmaker and scientist who writes, produces, and directs award-winning ecological documentaries through the Canadian company, Juggernaut Pictures. Scott has worked on over 200 films and TV projects over his more than 30 year film career. He has dedicated the last 20 years to films and projects focused on environmental issues. Scott's most recent films include: Trial of An Iconic Species, The Unofficial Trial of Alexandra Morton, and The Pristine Coast and Save the Planet Already!
Scott also believes that its just important to protect the independence of filmmakers and their stories as it is to protect the environment. So he decided to create The Green Channel with the hope that the Channel would provide a way for all of us to hear fresh, new ideas and stories about environmental concerns.
When he’s not building The Green Channel, you’ll find Scott creating new films or volunteering as a streamkeeper in the Squamish River watershed.
