It's been really hard for sustainable practices to receive any significant coverage in the so-called mainstream media. One thing I've always liked about PBS is their willingness to delve a little more deeply toward the front edge of issues. Tonight (Jim Lehrer News Hour) they had a good piece on some off-grid sustainable housing developments utilizing old tires, recycled cans and other items that would all too often wind up being wasted (so to speak) in a landfill somewhere. Many of the homes shown were pretty damned cool to look at, too.
