Network broadcasters can’t do much to make your widescreen more energy efficient or your viewing habits carbon-neutral.

But they can spread the eco-message that “Green is Universal,” which is what NBC has in mind next month.

Picture Earl driving a Prius, Howie Mandel making deals for locally grown produce or Jim Halpert pushing paper produced with a high quantity of post-consumer content. (Actually, that last one happened once.) You won’t be able to flip on the Peacock from Nov. 4-10 without being bathed in subliminal messages of the Al Gore variety.

“By creatively weaving stories concerning environmental awareness into our series, we see this as an opportunity to engage the audience and provide a positive social message,” said entertainment chief Ben Silverman in a statement. “Our ultimate goal is to entertain people while creating a conversation about a universal issue.”

So look for Stanley Tucci on ER, Kermit the Frog on Deal or No Deal and Gore on 30 Rock. Even the late-night talkies are getting in on the green game. An NBC Universal press release says Late Night with Conan O’Brien “will feature guests on the November 7 show whose names incorporate the word green.” That should save a few Arctic ice shelves, no?

A few more examples, including that of 30 Rock, which of course is NBC’s own fictionalized version of itself…

When Greenzo’s eco-friendly preachiness gets obnoxiously out of hand in “The Girlie Show” offices, it’s Liz (Tina Fey) who gets fed up the most with the ridiculous character. Kenneth (Jack McBrayer) is planning his annual house party, a boring little soiree where Liz has been the only one who ever shown up in the past.
