Greener 'days'

Influenced by the global-warming documentary An Inconvenient Truth, NBC's Days of Our Lives is going green this month. The daytime serial will feature a wedding with "earth-friendly elements" in a story line that will end in May. The fictional nuptials will include pesticide-free flowers and biodegradable favors. Executive Producer Ken Corday said it's important for the soap opera to "fall in step in helping to raise the viewers' consciousness of certain environmental problems and solutions."
