Strange Days on Planet Earth

Did anyone else see this last night on PBS? It was a wonderful documentary, narrated by Edward Norton, about all of the changes the Earth is going through because to what we do to it. It had segments about fishing, plastic, pollution, sustainability and many other things. For vegans and non-vegans alike it had things things we could do to improve, but it was quite a reality jolt. I'd highly recommend watching it, and it made me proud to be a vegan (and I started riding my bike to work).

I didn't see it, but it makes me really happy that you ride your bike to work. I do the same. Riding to work + vegan =tiny footprint. Buying local food really helps too (almost CSA season). Keep it up. Plus biking two hours to and from work is like 1,000 calories burnt. So you should be in great shape.
I really wish I could ride my bike to work. I live 6 miles from work but the traffic is so dangerous that I can't. I did it twice, it was scary.
Thanks for the info Ranu! I found it in four parts on Google Video. Yay!

Oh goody! I had only seen the last two (those were the only two they were showing). I immediately watched the others. Thanks!
