Bill Nye Rocks

Did you check out the new cable channel Planet Green last night? It took the place of Discovery Home and debuted at 6pm. So if you had any of the Discovery channels then you'll have Planet Green.

Last night we watched Bill Nye's new show, Stuff Happens. How smart is Bill Nye? The best thing about him is that he makes complicated subjects easy and interesting to understand. I still don't know which came first, the chicken or the egg? But I do know to look for shade grown coffee beans. Did you know that certain coffee beans contribute to the Amazon rain forest being bulldozed - that's why you want to look for shade grown since trees = shade.

I am all about being more green. But organic is way more than double the price. And with prices of everything in the world increasing right now, I really don't want to quadruple my grocery bill. But the glory of the green movement is that there are lots of other ways you can make changes. It's not just energy efficient refrigerators, compact florescent lights and organic products. Bill Nye and the other shows will tell you other things you can do to help.

Not only do I dream about the day when we'll buy a house, but I even more look forward to it so I can make it a green home. I actually drove to work yesterday thinking about one day getting solar lights for a front walkway. Store up the solar power during the day for when the lights turn on at night…how cool is that. Solar panels on the roof would be awesome.

Living with Ed has moved to Planet Green from HGTV, Adrian Grenier from Entourage has a show, as does Tom Bergeron from Dancing w/the Stars and many others. So check it out.
