The Price is Right Season 2015 Episode 75 Wed, Apr 22, 2015 - Earth Day Special

On April 22, 2015, The Price is Right aired a special Earth Day episode as a way to celebrate the annual environmental event. Hosted by Drew Carey, the episode began with an introduction of the show's theme for the day - sustainable living - and a brief history of Earth Day. The set was decked out in green and blue with flowers and plants on display to give the audience a sense of nature.

The contestants for the day were dressed in eco-friendly clothing, and Drew encouraged viewers at home to also dress sustainably. Then, the first item up for bid was a 2015 Prius Plug-in Hybrid, the perfect eco-friendly car. The contestants were given a chance to bid on the car, and the one who came closest without going over the actual retail price was able to participate in the show's famous pricing games.

Next up were various prizes such as a five-night stay in an eco-friendly resort in Hawaii, a collection of energy-efficient appliances, and an all-expense-paid trip to Belize where the winner could learn about rainforest conservation efforts. Throughout the show, Drew Carey highlighted the importance of sustainability and encouraged viewers to take small steps towards living a more eco-friendly lifestyle.

The highlight of the Earth Day special episode was the "Green Showcase Showdown." Each item in the showcase was chosen specifically for its sustainable qualities. For instance, one showcase included a camper trailer with solar panels, compostable plates and utensils, and a year's supply of organic, locally grown food. Another included a Tesla Model S electric car, a set of solar-powered home appliances, and a trip to a sustainable luxury resort in Bali.

The contestants, after bidding on the showcases, had to spin the famous wheel to see who would get to move on to the final round. In the end, one lucky contestant had the chance to win not only the sustainable showcase but also a cash prize of $50,000. Drew Carey was on hand to present the prize to the winner, all while emphasizing the importance of taking steps towards living a more sustainable lifestyle.

The Earth Day special episode of The Price is Right was a fun and educational way to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the annual environmental event. Drew Carey and the contestants reminded viewers that while we may not be able to solve all of the world's environmental issues overnight, we can each make small changes in our daily lives that can add up to make a big impact. From using eco-friendly products to turning off the lights when we leave a room, each choice we make can help protect the planet for generations to come.
