Watching the BBC

On a recent trip to Finland I was watching the BBC news. During a smart and enlightened broadcast (that was nothing like the Murdoch regulated hogwash we are spoon-fed in the US), there was a story on a new high speed commuter train that could get from London to Paris in about 2 hours.

The reason for this innovation (according to the BBC) is because of Europe's growing concern about aircraft emissions and the effect they have on the environment - in the context of global warming. On the same newscast I saw a piece about educating euro grade schoolers on how to conserve energy - in the context of global warming.

For me - that BBC broadcast was a such a breath of fresh air(pun intended) because this isn't about trendy politics (or an academy award) - this is good & common sense being applied. It's that simple.
