Is The Real World Really Green?
In a press release, MTV announced that the next house to be featured on The Real World is going green. Pretty awesome if you ask me- I can’t imagine a better platform to reach out to our tweens and college students and make a handful of ‘green’ products and behaviors ‘cool’…
From TreeHugger.com, “'The Real World' house will include everything from solar energy solutions to bamboo flooring, recycled glass counters, some sustainable furniture and recycled vintage décor, energy star appliances, a solar heated swimming pool and energy efficient lighting. Additionally, Bunim-Murray Productions has taken measures to reduce its environmental impact by adopting more environmentally-sound production practices on set. They also are working towards making the production and show carbon-neutral by offsetting remaining carbon emissions after these carbon reducing measures are applied. Eco-friendly elements will be added on a regular basis throughout production and within the show, including products seen with the cast and around the house.”
Good work, MTV. Now just make sure that house doesn’t get any junk mail either and we’re on our way…
Have a great weekend,

Great post!
If the economics don't work, recycling efforts won't either.
As our little contribution to make this economics of recycling more appealing, http://LivePaths.com blogs about people and companies that make money selling recycled or reused items, provide green services or help us reduce our dependency on non renewable resources.
