It's Not Easy Being Green

In last week's New York Times magazine, Tom Friedman lays out a new, patriotic path for environmentalism in the United States. It's a sober and realistic appraisal of the costs and the rewards for taking serious steps to address the threats of terrorism and global warming with workable economic models. I'm pretty sure every American should read this. Certainly everyone in Washington.

But if you're one of those folks allergic to long, though well-written articles, check out the documentary version of it tomorrow on the Discovery Channel at 9 p.m. Set your DVR. I'm no tree-hugging liberal pantywaist. But neither is anyone who truly listens to and adopts Friedman's philosophy.
