Bill Nye The Science Guy Comes Back to TV With a Purpose

April 14, 2008 in Giving Back by Kristen Seymour | No comments

Emmy award-winning scientist, engineer, comedian, author, inventor, and host, Bill Nye The Science Guy is coming back to television to host a new show on Discovery’s Planet Green called Stuff Happens.

Nye’s new program will focus on showing people “what happens to everyday things before and after we consume them.” This will reveal the generally unknown and unintended consequences of many items we all take for granted, and as Nye investigates the life cycle of these products, he’ll also show us some simple changes we can all make to help reduce these consequences and benefit the environment.

The Science Guy still rides his bike to work and encourages young scientists to always clean up after themselves. His motto is “Leave the world better than you found it. Sometimes you gotta pick up somebody else’s trash.”

It seems to me that this new show is a great way for him to encourage people all over, young and old, to follow his example and work to make the world a better place, one cool science experiment at a time.
