Design: e2
e2 is “an ongoing series about the economies of being environmentally conscious.” The series will eventually expand to cover a variety of issues but first tackles the two topics of design and energy.
I recently finished watching the first season of design: e2 on Hulu. Issues covered in the episodes reveal the larger environmental problems facing sustainable building design in the modernized world—particularly in terms of present day China's potential impact on the rest of the globe (re: China: From Red to Green?). Yet, the underlying message of the six episodes demonstrates “green” initiatives as having more to do with efficiency than some idealistic notion. And, Brad Pitt narrates.
Look to PBS and the e2 Series website for episode guides and scheduling information. However, the first season of design: e2 is streaming on Hulu, which is the easiest place to start.

I watched the China episode and it hooked me. I'll be finishing up the rest of the series asap. On a sidenote: It's funny how no one thought Hulu would amount to anything.

The episode on China was my favorite. I'm with you on Hulu. I'm on there at least once a week watching something. There are two more seasons of design, two seasons of energy and the next series launch is for transport. This has easily become one of my favorite new TV series.
