So there is a new show on FX (the Fox national satelite/cable channel) called 30days. It's "hosted" by the same guy that brought us the documentary "Supersize Me" (Morgan Spurlock).

Anyways they did a show where they brought a male 'bouncer' and a female "dj" from NYC to the Dancing Rabbit Eco village in Missouri and they followed them for 30 days!

The bouncer drove a Ford Exploder and the DJ drove a I think Mitsubishi Somethingorother V6 I believe.

Anyways they brought in an "environmental consultant" who did an analysis of their lifestyles to figure out exactly how wastefull the average ignorant american is. By the EC's calculation it would take exactly 12.5 planets to support the worlds population if everyone lived like the average american.

*jaw drop*

I'm an environmentalist, but I've never had it put into perspective like that for me before and I live relativly low impact. Or as low impact as is impractical considering I live in the suburbs currently.

Anyways, it was interesting to watch the transformation of these two ppl. Nonetheless your atypical jaded arse New Yorkers, and watch how they adapted to low impact living.

Anyways if you get cable or satelitte or like me can watch a friends you should check the show out. I'm sure like everything it will be in endless reruns shortly. Or you can google up FX network and look up the listing.

Here is the link for the Dancing Rabbit Eco-Village. They wrote a little blurb about the whole experience as well. I'm not a big fan of the 30 minute docu-reality. Especially because of the heavy handed editing. But the show did sort of proove to me, that you can take even the average ignorant american and turn them around.
