Every week, the WA$TED! team, led by Annabelle along with "green" handyman Holter Graham, audits a household's waste, and its energy, water and transportation consumption. Each household has three weeks to reduce its consumption, going on a "green regime" to clean up their act.

Planet Green then multiplies those savings by the projected savings for the year per household as a nice cash bonus for all participants.
