Quiet, a whale is in trouble.

Per NBC Press Release: (Minor Spoilers)

“NEW YORK - November 11, 2009 - NBC Primetime steps into the green spotlight for “Green is Universal’s” annual “Green Week,” which kicks off November 15th. “30 Rock,” “Biggest Loser,” “Community, and “The Office,” will include “green” story elements.

It’s not just the real life suits at GE and NBCU who are delivering green mandates these days? Now Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) is getting into the act. In the November 19th episode of “30 Rock,” Donaghy tells the show’s staff to reduce its carbon footprint by 5%, per orders from the parent company. Though Donaghy is skeptical of this corporate mandate, he puts Kenneth The Page in charge of making sure the show achieves its goal. In addition, former Vice President Al Gore makes his second guest appearance on the show in connection to the green storyline.

Ironically, in reality, “30 Rock” is one of the “greenest” shows produced for NBC Universal. In addition to basic recycling efforts, the show has removed water bottles and installed water filters. 30 Rock’s caterer uses compostable products, and the offices have switched to “green” chemical-free cleaning products. Additionally, 30 Rock rents hybrids for both talent and crew.”
