Dancing Rabbit
- the name of the eco-village and site of season finale of 30 Days.
I thought it was ingenious. Getting two of your average ravenously cosuming (not that I claim not to) Americans and look at sustainability from their eyes.
It was great to see a change in their attitudes towards green living, even if it only happened towards the end. The results of this gig were not as significant as I anticipated they would be, but that was perhaps too much expectaion for a social experiment of only 30 days. Green living is - a lifestyle.
Using typical young-ish people for the episode, people that this generation of Americans can probably relate to, made the message really relevant, I thought. Johari's angst about not being to use her non-biodegradable products was probably something that resounded with the vast majority of urbanite female (and male!) America - lol!
Watching this episode has made me think harder about going vegetarian, something I've thought about ever since coming into contact with the environment movement a few years back. I might do a phase-out thing, with reds first, then maybe whites... I dunno. I'm not ready to give up fish at this point. Organics perhaps? Options abound.
The last thing I want to do is identify as a "friend of the earth", and then not live an earth-friendly life.
Anyhow, I can't wait for Morgan Spurlock's next season of 30 Days! Spurlock, you rock.
Nuggets for all:

Women can't become vegetarian...
you lose too much blood every month for a veggie diet to be sustainable or healthy.
Considering most women have blood hemo levels bordering on anemic levels already...
Unless you consume iron supplement tablets, else don't go veggie. Guys on the other hand, should do veggie.
Cheers,
