If you're a fan of reality TV (like I am) and you have a strong interest in the inner workings of local government (I'm assuming we all do - why we're here), you really need to check out the TV series "Greensburg" on Planet Green TV (check your Cable Listings).

Now I wasn't really a huge "green" advocate (I tend to side more on the side of "blue", but that's probably a different posting for a different blog) ... but this docu-series really sheds light on how one city devastated by a tornado two years ago is rebuilding their city with an extreme focus on using "green" and "sustainable" resources in the reconstruction of their community.
Without realizing it, you get educated on key public policies that are emerging nationwide to encourage sustainable, "eco-friendly" construction policies and practicies -- and at that same time, get to armchair quarterback decisions and approaches taken by the Mayor, City Manager, Council members and community leaders.
Season 2 is just beginning so you can probably come up to speed over a weekend or two.
