Late night talk show host and comic, David Letterman has been put under siege of late but we want to focus on things that actually matter first.  Letterman, in addition to being a great talent is also somewhat of an eco-friendly television pioneer having made a commitment to producing eco-friendly television programming through his production company World Wide Pants.
