Spoiler Alert! Your Fave NBC Shows Will Be Green-Themed

Starting this week, five prime-time NBC shows’ scripts will be eco-centric. “30 Rock,” “The Biggest Loser,” “The Office,” “Heroes” and “Community” will tout environmental messages in their plot lines.

Lauren Zalanick, head of the NBC Universal Green Council, told the Associated Press in April that the network does not “shy away” from environmentally friendly efforts. While NBC reformatted its programming to fit the Earth Day theme, the network said its green efforts would stretch beyond the national holiday.

While news and informational programs have covered environmental issues throughout the year, until now, the efforts have not shifted to prime-time. According to the Associated Press, story lines will range from recycling highlights to organic produce.

According to Jack McBrayer, who plays the role of Kenneth on the comedy “30 Rock,” the eco-ideas aren’t just in the script.

“Everybody is on board with greening up the place and being more environmentally-friendly in real life,” McBrayer told the Associated Press. “Every now and then people need to be reminded of things that can be done.”

According to Beth Colleton, vice president of the “Green is Universal” campaign, the “30 Rock” set has removed disposable water bottles, drives hybrid transport vehicles and uses chemical-free cleaning products.
