And though network productions can be (and typically are) incredibly wasteful, Extreme Makeover Home Edition certainly tries to do their part. They donate many materials from the torn down homes to organizations like Habitat for Humanity, they incorporate "green" elements into every show & i've been to set multiple times... their behind-the-scenes recycling program is pretty impressive. Seriously... way to go EMHE - may more productions follow your lead! yeah… it’s great when network tv catches up with the times. my husband is a producer for the show (and in fact produced the Drumm’s episode).

I worked at a Ford dealership for nearly four years and during that time, they had more PZEV vehicles in their line-up than any other car manufacturer (including Toyota). In fact, my Focus is a PZEV, which means it is actually less harmful to the environment then the Toyota Highlander Hybrid. Hybrids typically give you better fuel economy, but not all of them are PZEV clean. I was proud to work for them and always a little saddened by people's bias against American cars. With everything they have in their pipeline, including their , soon to be released, Eco-Boost, I am not worried about them at all and am proud to drive around in my eco-friendly Focus. :-) Ford isn’t as bad as people think.
