Video: Sesame Street Turns 40, Goes Green
Lordy, lordy, Sesame Street is turning 40. To celebrate four decades of educational muppet fun, this year its producers are introducing a curriculum called "My World is Green and Growing" designed to "create a love and understanding of the natural world."

Sesame Street is an American
Sesame Street is an American educational children's television series and a pioneer of the contemporary educational television standard, combining both education and entertainment. Everybody settle down – the Cookie Monster/Veggie Monster rumors are untrue. There wasn't going to be a Cookie Monster Veggie Monster conversion when the rumors started a few years ago, and it still will never happen. Cookie Monster will always remain Cookie Monster. The rumors started a few years ago with a series of complaints that Cookie Monster advocated kids to eat too many sweets. It is the 40th Anniversary of Sesame Street, so it's understandable why people are concerned – but take heart, Cookie Monster will still love cookie – but now emphasizes a more balanced and healthy diet. There will be no Cookie Monster Veggie Monster change, so don't waste low interest loans investigating false rumblings over nothing.
