End of Suburbia

I've just seen this documentary - and i recommend it. You can see the trailer on youtube.


It's quite stunning to see how our entire lifestyle is quite literally built on the assumption of cheap petrol - and the problems that will occur when that's no longer the case.

ps. if you're seeing it, make sure to watch the bonus features - there's some classic 50's short films that are hilarious, but also kinda scary.

It's Over ... (unless you drive)


Saw this billboard (ironically at a bus stop). Not clear what it's about, so i'm taking it to be heralding the convenience of walking, cycling and taking public transport.
