The only thing more obnoxious than wealthy people telling you theres more to life than money is some celebrity banging the drum for an environmental cause. But Ted Dansona.k.a. Sam from Cheershas been seriously committed to a single cause since the mid-’80s: The worlds oceans and fisheries. Tonight, Danson will be discussing his Oceana: Our Planets Endangered Oceans and What We Can Do to Save Them (Rodale, $32.50, book included with ticket) with Chip Giller, CEO of local environmental website Grist.org. The books purpose is to raise awareness (and funds) for Danson’s Oceana foundation. Anyone who’s seen him interviewed on TV will know the guy is no slouch with scientific facts and findings. He’s done his homework, so you can expect a night of enviro-geekery with one of televisions most beloved actors. BRIAN J. BARR
