Big Green LiesBig Green Lies is a fun, hip, compelling and instructive green program that playfully explores the truths — and the falsehoods — behind several common Green Myths, such as cloth vs. disposable diapers, organic vs. non-organic foods, and hybrid cars vs. traditional models.
Jeffrey Hollender, the president of Seventh Generation and one of the foremost authorities on all things green, will be featured throughout the special to lend his expertise and insight on busting some of the biggest green myths!
More Big Green Lies Our quest continues for what's real when it comes to the big eco-issues:
- The Real Meat on the Organic Food Debate
Everyone's hungry for organic food, and it's easy to see why: these are foods produced without chemical insecticides, herbicides and fertilizers, not to mention antibiotics, hormones and genetic modification. But are they better for the environment?
- Should a Pollution Alert Be Issued for Your Living Room?
Probably. And we can tell you why.
- The Inside Poop on Diapers
If there are infants or toddlers in your life, there may be no bigger environmental decision than whether to use cloth or disposable diapers — the typical child requires up to 8,000 diaper changes before he or she is toilet-trained. So which is better for the environment?
- Don't Sweat the Gasoline
For years our elders have counseled that if we really want to save gasoline, we should drive with our car's air conditioner off. Roll down your windows instead, goes the popular wisdom. You may eat some truck exhaust, but you won't have to gas up at every exit. Is that really the case?
- Buy a Hybrid Car?
In an age of fluctuating gasoline prices, hybrid cars can seem like automotive salvation. But are hybrids really the answer for everyone?
