We Were Warned II
So I watched We Were Warned on CNN shown not last weekend, but the weekend before. It was a little more upbeat than the End of Suburbia, but I have to wonder how factual it was.
I especially wonder at the integrity of this, since I think the first advertisement break featured an advertisement from, get this, John Deere. Showing lawn mowers, no less. Talk about being part of the problem. Lawns are emblematic of the problem! Especially here in Colorado, and from what I understand, in Arizona, they may soon become untenable. Taking potable water and spraying it on something that is for aesthetic purposes isn't what I'd call the best use of limited resources.
