What parents need to know
Parents need to know that overall, this series -- which suggests creative ways that people can live a green lifestyle and be more environmentally friendly -- has a positive message. That said, cast members (including Entourage heartthrob Adrian Grenier) and guests often do seem to be "preaching" about the green life, and the series promotes lots of specific eco-friendly products and services, even directing viewers to the show's Web site for information on how to purchase featured items. While the show's content is pretty mild, there are some subtle sexual references, and team drinks wine and cocktails during meals.
