Saw this episode last night Mary... to think I watched because of Juan Cole being on an earlier segment about Afghanistan.
It really turned out to be a pleasant eye opener. Already visited the goodguide.com website and have gotten tons of solid information.
Thanks for bringing it to everyone's attention... this isn't a right or left issue, it's a future issue.

The whole way we live has baffled and bugged the shit out of me since I was about four years old and took my first look around!

But after watching the first couple minutes, what amazes me is that people only now (maybe it's the MSM?) are beginning to discover the Story of Stuff. Didn't that make its rounds a year ago?
@sharkbabe: I agree. The way we live amazes me too. Unsustainable, in many different ways, is the only way my brain can seem to describe it.
