Green 101
With a full minute of this segment used for music and credits, the remaining time should hopefully be chockful of green 'bites'. The information presented about thinking greener is a good, basic beginning, but the actors sound, painfully so, like they're reading from the script rather than having a real time conversation with each other. It makes the piece sound hokey, and as if it's being dumbed down for an uneducated audience. Something upbeat, and faster moving could impart the same information without sounding patronizing. It's a great idea poorly executed.
