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? Tune in to Stuff Happens and see.
