TV Tonight: 30 Rock
Of all of the shows participating in NBC's Green is Universal week, I've been most excited to see what 30 Rock would do with the assignment. The show is so brilliant at poking fun of NBC's corporate culture that I figured Tina Fey would have something special up her sleeve for this politically correct mission.
Sure enough, tonight's episode will introduce Greenzo, a ridiculous, Jack Donaghy-mandated green superhero, played by David Schwimmer.
NBC Goes Eco for Green is Universal Week
Back in July, when NBC announced it would have a green-themed week of programming, I wondered aloud how many green plot lines there could really be. Well, NBC has released the details about how each of its shows will be integrating the theme from Nov. 4-10, and it seems the answer to my question is: a whole lot.
NBC is Going Green This Fall
From Live Earth to Leonardo DiCaprio's documentary about global warming, it's cool to be green in showbiz these days. This fall, NBC will be getting into the act with a week of green-themed programming across all of its networks, including Bravo, USA and Sci Fi. According to NBC entertainment co-president Ben Silverman, every single primetime show on the network — from "Heroes" to "Deal or No Deal" — will have "themes of green."

Movie Preview: Matt Damon in Green Zone
Matt Damon is officially a Hollywood juggernaut. Not only does he have a ton of movies in the works (a Liberace biopic, an Eastwood film, and as of today a new project with the Coen brothers), and here's a peek at his upcoming thriller Green Zone. Even though I've been anxiously awaiting a fourth Bourne installment, Green Zone looks like a worthy substitute for the time being.
Casa Verde: Quaker Oats Fuel This School
I love to see America's universities taking a lead in environmental awareness and sustainability, so I was thrilled to hear about the University of Iowa's biomass project. For the past few years, the university has worked with a local Quaker Oats plant to replace the burning of coal with the burning of oat hulls, which are a waste product from the Quaker Oats factory.
About 60 tons of discarded oat hulls from Quaker Oats are delivered daily to the UI power plant, and this organic material is burned with coal to produce energy for the school.
Say What? Modern Day Cave Man on Why Money Sucks
"When I lived with money, I was always lacking. Money represents lack. Money represents things in the past (debt) and things in the future (credit), but money never represents what is present."
Earth-Friendly Baby Wipes That Work
From wiping baby bums to playground dirt off lil one's hands and cleaning lunch crumbs off wee faces — the baby wipe has become a universal cleanser in many homes. Traditional wipes are sturdy, soft and get the job done, but thinking about how many end up in the garbage tends to push many mamas toward ecological options.
Elements Naturals has an earth-friendly version that is compostable and still manages to withstand the rigor used to tidy up tots.
Is Your Local Starbucks Closing?
By now you must have heard that Starbucks is closing 600 of its stateside coffee shops. Last week Starbucks released the official list of the closing stores with a grand total of 616 closures. The closing stores are company-operated stand alone locations; no bookstore, super market, or airport Starbucks will be shuttered.
Suzy Menkes Disapproves of Revivals and Marc Jacobs
When we heard International Herald Tribune fashion writer Suzy Menkes was going to speak at the Academy of Art University San Francisco, we decided we must get ourselves there, even though technically we're not students. But really — isn't one always a student of fashion? I think so .
