Stuff Happens - Dinner

On Stuff Happens, Bill Nye takes a lucky someone special out on a romantic dinner for two, with a green twist. Tune in to learn the secret life of what's on your dinner table, and discover the ecological footprint of wining and dining a date, or just chowing down for a great meal. Everything comes from somewhere, and from the finer points of eco-smart sushi to the environmental costs, and benefits, of a decadent spread of chocolate desserts, Bill Nye is ready to help you make smart, sustainable choices about what's for dinner.

Ever wondered about the links between cow flatulence and global warming? Ever craved the facts on whether chopsticks are good, or bad, for planet Earth? Ever wondered how you can measure the carbon footprint of your dessert? Nye has the straight story on those, and other green dinner surprises, from the appetizer through the final course, and he shares it all with you on Stuff Happens. When you know where your dinner is coming from, and how it got to your plate, you'll never see your evening meal the same way again.

As the scientist with the eco-know-how spells out the surprising relationships between what's on our dinner tables and what's happening in the global environment, will a love connection blossom over the couple's shared bottle of organic wine?

Stuff Happens: Kitchen

Bill Nye tackles the kitchen's biggest eco-mysteries, from paper vs. plastic to the environmental impact of non-stick pans. Plus, toothless cows, moody teenagers, an experiment in scientific destruction, and more, on this episode of Stuff Happen.

When the labcoat-bedecked Nye stops by his neighbor's house for some free grub, he discovers a raging battle between an eco-obsessed teenager, her green-hating bro, and their baffled and befuddled mom, who just wants to get some peace in the household, and some dinner on the table. Nye strives to sort out the squabble by taking the clan on an eco-tour of the kitchen, exposing the environmental footprint of the stuff they use every day, and sharing the facts on how to make smart and savvy choices. Watch along at home to see where your pots and pans, wasted food, and all the other trash and treasures in your kitchen, come from, where they are going, and what you can do to make it all greener.

Bill Nye knows the secret lives of all your common kitchen stuff, and he's serving it up on Stuff Happens. Watch this episode for some serious dirt on dentally-challenged cattle, the straight answers to common green kitchen questions, and some cool science surprises as the man in the long white labcoat "reverse engineers" a common kitchen item with explosive results.

New Orleans: the utterly original American city that lies at the mouth of the mighty Mississippi and at the beating heart of the great American experiment.
