Is raising children in suburbia a form of child
abuse? What happens to developing people when public space is the berm
between the Wal-Mart and the K-Mart? When school looks like a maximum
security "facility"? When parents are chauffeurs? James Howard Kunstler
addresses these topics and speaks of his own experiences growing up in
the suburbs of Long Island and in Manhattan.
Enjoy toe-tapping tunes as environmental educators Sharon Abreu and Michael Hurwicz regale us with songs like "Penguins on Thin Ice." Their shared goal is for education to be fun and entertaining. Their catchy lyrics bid "Goodbye, Oil" and ask "How do we find the balance?" Their answer: "The economy depends on the ecology." Sing along! Episode 65.
