Bill Nye Coming Back to TV on ‘Stuff Happens’

Science nerds rejoice! Bill Nye the Science Guy is coming back to TV starting September 2nd. The new Planet Green series ‘Stuff Happens’ explains to viewers “what happens when we use stuff, where it goes when we’re through with it, and what impact it has on the environment and the entire planet”. Episode one, called ‘The Bathroom’, sounds pretty interesting.

From Treehugger:

In the premiere episode, Nye explores the private porcelain palace called the bathroom. Some of the stuff that happens there may be unmentionable, but it all has an environmental impact—an impact we can reduce in painless ways that could make a big difference.

Nye tackles everything from toothpaste (does it endanger orangutans in Borneo?), to cosmetics (how many pounds of chemicals does your skin absorb over a lifetime of using cosmetics?), to toilets (what kinds of “super bugs” are growing in our municipal water systems due to flushing old prescription drugs down the toilet?)

Pure awesome. This series is going to be packed with tons of fascinating information. Check out the premiere Tuesday, September 2nd at 9PM ET.
