VIDEOS: Sustainability

Any good internet user is well aware of the power YouTube. By way of the blog Jetson Green I first saw a portion of a Tim Russert interview with Tom Friedman, recent author of the book The World is Flat and a favorite contributor of mine to the NY Times. Friedman expresses his concern over sustainability, our international dependence on oil, and the role the U.S. must play in the future in order to remain as influential as countries such as China and India.

Another wonderful series to check out on YouTube (unless you prefer to order it on DVD) is design: e2, a six episode production by PBS that is narrated by Brad Pitt, who of recent has been a leading proponent of sustainable architecture. I should also mention that further analsis on the same design: e2 issues are avaivable through podcasts.
