Stuff Happens Episode: The Office

Mon Mar 09 20:45:00 GMT 2009

Bill Nye goes undercover at an office this week, and brings you the surprising eco-facts about where the stuff that fills your cubicle comes from, and where it all goes when you're done with it. From the paper in your printer to the light over your desk, from the computer you boot up to the coffee you chug down, tune in to Stuff Happens to find out the secret life of all the things that make up your 9-to-5, and get the green truth about how you can make your office more environmentally friendly.

As Stuff Happens takes on the ecological footprint of a typical workplace, Bill Nye switches from the lab to the cubicle to investigate office life. Ever wonder about the greenest thing to do with a trashed cell phone? Ever consider the possible links between your ballpoint pen and the global environment? Ever thought about how to green your afternoon coffee break? Ever wanted to know the real facts about incandescent and fluorescent lights? Stuff Happens has the surprising answers to those questions and many more like them, plus the truth about how many air conditioners it takes to permanently ruin Christmas.
