vervet_monkey Anyone else been watching human planet?
BBC have just managed to incorporate sustainable living into a show that was not publicised as a 'green' or 'environmentalist' show (I know natural history shows are by default, but it wasn't explicitly so, if that makes sense?) and without doom and gloom. We have a problem and we're going to have to fix it, so lets fix it. Rather than either glossing over it, or "we're all going to die, you're all evil people and what's the point anyway"
Well done BBC, I'm impressed. It might not be all the way there, but baby steps are better than nothing. If you haven't seen it, I suggest a watch.
(And I'm sure my environmentalist friends will have lots of negative things to say about it, but never mind, they can squabble between themselves... and that would be the other problem with environmentalism...)
