Awesome! Thanks Bill Moyers and PBS. I am so on THIS page about humanity mending its wasteful ways. I have always been this way ever since the schools used to teach good things like the "Think Metric" and the "Lester Lightbulb" educational campaigns. Where has this country (USA) gone so wrong? Was it In the 1980s and 1990s when corporations began to take over so much of everything -- including govt that makes the laws and policies which the rest of the country then operates under? Hmm. I wonder.

Your right in your thoughts, yet you just don't get it, do you? You had a cost as well. IGNORANCE and DENIAL does not make anybody accountable. Being APATHETIC is also PATHETIC.

What a scam. Recycle what you can and be done with it. The "carbon footprint" crap is a ruse of the left and algore. This has been exposed as the fraud it is. Stop with the social/eco nutbag control dung. I think I'm going to puke on this socialist drivel.

what a load of "radical" crap lol

the sooner we start thinking about the industrial age as something in the past, a part of history that we have moved beyond, the sooner we will have developed technologies and systems which will allow us to live in hormony with the earth while still maintaining our higher standard of living (meaning quality of life, not number of material possesions)

[eklipst2x]

"the stuff we have now is a legacy of innovations and inventions from a very innocent time when nobody thought about ecological impacts"

great perspective

[thomuk2006]

Sounds good, Fair Trade and Organic are also good ways too go...

I like this, I think it's very very important but my assumption is that on the whole better will mean more expensive, or at least in so far as is percieved in the context of habit - change can be painful.

However, what is truly expensive is the rate at which waste... and in the process debase social capital.
