Reeducation on the Green


And now on BBC Three we present a new series from the Ministry of Love (emphasis added):
Joanna, Dan and Andy descend on a household of wasters to assess just how bad they are based on what they see in the house, by 'interrogating' them and from the evidence of a waste diary that the family has compiled.

The family then spends up to five days living at 'the house of correction' - a purpose built eco-camp of large traditional Mongolian yurts (tents) - where they live without creature comforts and have Joanna and Dan teaching how them to waste as little as possible and how to live off the land.

Meanwhile, Andy oversees an eco-makeover at the family's home - designed to challenge their behaviour and inspire them to change their ways - with measures such as solar panels, wind turbines, turf roofing, livestock, compost toilets, recycling systems as well as locking up or removing cars.
Not so much a reality programme as a Greenpeace wet dream.

    If they can get past the square furlong of razor wire 'round my place, I'd be more than happy to acquiesce.

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
