“The Green Apple” explores some of Manhattan’s most prominent and technologically advanced structures like One Bryant Park and The Solaire, as well as the innovative minds behind them. The episode illustrates how the ubiquitous skyscraper can surprisingly be a model of environmental responsibility. (25:45 min)
David, glad you are finally being able to find some of these full length programs on youtube now. I like the point that is made at the beginning about how efficent high density living can be. Ive seen this episode a couple times before, so just leaving a quick comment.
Yeah, this is an excellent series. We need to be pummeled with this type of information so we can wake up from our old school ways of consumption…
