You know a movement's going mainstream when the BBC jumps on board. 6 Music, the Beeb's superb digital station for everything that used to be good on Radio One, has just started a week of eco-minded shows called Green Days. As well as having a dedicated website full of green tips and info, the week's regular programmes are being taken over to discuss everything from organic muesli (the Phil Jupitus show) and Environmental Elvis (Gideon Coe) to global warming (Tom Robinson). The fact that 6 Music's about the only UK music station worth listening to these days - aside from XFM and the odd bit of Radio 3 - is an added bonus. If you're not in the UK, you can listen online.
