This reality is real

If you're long over reality shows as I am, then put something original and inspiring on your couch potato viewing list this year. (But it's so fun to watch Tamra, Gretchen and Alexis' breasts duke it out!) Seriously now, e2 is reality and a must-see. I originally came upon e2 on a very cool site called Grounded. E2 is a critically acclaimed PBS series about the innovators and pioneers who envision a better quality of life on earth; socially, culturally, economically and ecologically through issues such as design, energy, transport, food and urban development. The series first ran in 2008, but you can find all the episodes online via e2 as webcasts and podcasts for free! So... no excuses for not watching some real TV. And here's to hoping we can all find ways, big or small, to be kinder to the earth and to others.

Kudos must be given to the very talented documentary duo director Tad Fettig and his co-producer Karena Albers of kontentreal and to sponsors PBS and Autodesk.
