Bill Nye, better known as “Bill Nye The Science Guy“, returns to TV this fall on Planet Green. His new show, Stuff Happens, will premier on September 2 at 9PM ET. On the show he will look at all the stuff in our lives—from the food we eat to the clothes we wear–to unlocking the secrets of everyday things before and after we use them. He will reveal the unintended consequences of all that stuff that we take for granted.
In the premier episode, Nye will explore the private porcelain place we call the bathroom. He talks about all the unmentionable stuff that happens there as well as the impact that it all has on the environment. 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 there? That’s really one to think about…I don’t think I’ve ever done that before.
