Planet Earth



We've been staying up late watching the BBC's planet earth documentary series and it is absolutely breathtaking. I've always loved watching nature documentaries, this is probably the most impressive series I've seen. If you haven't seen it already, I would highly recommend renting or putting in your Netflix queue. We are now at the very last segment; "planet earth, the future" where the creators and conservationists discuss the problems with the conservation movement and all the complexities of sustainability and trying to truly "save our planet". Watching this documentary has Jason and myself revisiting our perennial discussions on how we can live in a more sustainable matter. I know "green goods" and "green living" seem to be part of our daily vernacular now, with everyone from Home Depot to Macy's jumping in on the trend. But I hope something is truly shifting in our collective consciousness, something that will outlast any trend and become part of the way we design, conduct business and simply live our lives.

I think that change, at it's most effective, begins with every one of us coming forward to ask: what can I do? And then spreading the word.
