There’s a lot you can say about becoming more eco-conscious: that it’s responsible, forward-thinking and personally/socially fulfilling, for example.

But in a spot called “Good Green,” the Sundance Channel takes the go-green hype and staples on a passel of adjectives that ring both hollow and wince-worthy: sexy, trippy, fierce.

Confusingly, there’s also a shot of Isabella Rossellini flirtatiously hugging a giant lobster.

WOW. Thanks for all the abstraction, BIGSMACKtv. We’re definitely feeling the backhand.
