PBS

The Bay Area has a PBS TV Channel (KCSM) that has been airing some of the most tree-hugger programs I have ever seen. And I love it. Right now I'm listening to a student-turned-mountain man talk about Redwood tree growth rings and the significance of "ecotones." Before that a "master composter" from San Mateo College showed us how to make the best conditioning treatment for our organic farms. We learned how to make "peppers and prawns" using sustainably-harvested chiles. There was also a spotlight on eco-tourism in Hawaii, particularly traveling the countryside by horseback and creating "eco-friendly grafiti" along the Hawaiian highways by arranging white coral rocks on top of black solid lava.
Yes it might be over-the-top by your standards (and mine too)--but educational television warms my heart. think of the other shit that is infiltrating the brain of the average american. at least the bay area nutures the minds of its citizens. thank you.
