Watch Your Favorite Green Eps of South Park Online- Trey and Matt Set SP Free

I am an unabashed hardcore fan of the show South Park. I’ve seen every episode thanks to the magic of file sharing and YouTube and was happy to hear last year that Matt and Trey were planning on setting the show free on the net. They’ve always encouraged their fans to share episodes online and worked out a deal with Comedy Central to stream them all on SouthParkStudios.com. The site went live last week.

South Park has always ridden the edge when it comes to political and social issues and they haven’t shied away from writing about the environment. Here are a few that touch on green and eco issues. Enjoy!

Rainforest Schmainforest- The kids take a school field trip to the rain forest and discover that it actually kind of sucks.

Fun with Veal- The South Park boys bring out their inner animal rights activist and battle to save a bunch of baby cows from being killed for veal.

Die Hippie, Die- South Park is taken over by hippies who converge on the town for a massive hippie rock show. Sure, it’s not really all that environmental but it’s about hippies and we all know hippies love the earth.

Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow- A giant beaver dam breaks and the town figures out that Global Warming is to blame. Naturally, they panic to hilarious effect.

Smug Alert- The Brovlovski Family gets a hybrid car and become smug jerks about it. They move to San Francisco and are saved by Cartment from a giant Smug storm that takes out the city.

ManbearPig- This is my favorite one. Al Gore comes to town to warn the citizens about the dangers of Manbearpig- half man, half bear, half pig.

Hulu Opens to the Public with Three Green Video Shows

Hulu is new ‘watch TV online’ site that just opened up to the public a few weeks ago. I’ve been catching episodes of The Office, Battlestar Galactica, and Lipstick Jungle (what can I say, I like Brooke Sheilds) and just stumbled on a little cache of green videos there the other day.

The Sundance Channel has licensed a few green series to the site:

Ecoists has short 1:12 clips of different environmental activists and celebrities sharing their ideas for building a green world. The obvious ones are there- Woody Harrelson, Ed Begley Jr, and Daryl Hannah - but people like Ted Danson, Morgan Freeman, Ben Harper, and Moby also chime in.

Greenimation has short animated films that frankly aren’t all that funny or well animated.

Eco Biz has three minute profiles of eco entrepreneurs and companies like Ben & Jerry’s, Terra Pass, Ed Kerschner, and Stoller Vineyard. These are pretty good with a cute host (Alison Stewart) and good production values.
