Informal Brain

Currently, this is my favorite show I am watching from the iTunes store. It is an excellent show which covers a number of environmentally friendly topics. I have been catching up on season 1 and we are watching season 2 as the shows show up in the store.

The latest show I watched is called “Cities” from Season 1.

It has an extensive view of the South Waterfront development project in my home town of Portland Oregon. I was very impressed with the green features which are being built into the buildings. The recapturing of waste water, low power lighting, etc are all excellent ideas. Finally, the pre-planned use of public transportation to serve the South Waterfront development shows excellent forethought as the density grows. The project is served by bus, street car (light rail) and an innovative aerial tram which connects the OHSU campus to the hospital campus on the hill above.
