Amy comments on "The Green" on Sundance Channel, the opinions of some of its hosts, and the establishment of green prestige product industries. We really liked seeing more green programming on TV, but there's another side that might surprise you.
Then, Rhett takes to the kitchen to show you how you can make soy milk at home, getting one more industrial product out of your refrigerator. The recipe: just 425g of soybeans and 3L of water! References for this episode:

Rhett and Amy talk about solid waste and the preferable choices to recycling. Think recycling is the way to go? The answer might shock you. This week’s project focused on the oft forgotten ideas of reducing and reusing. Intrinsic to this is adopting a DIY lifestyle where you control the amount of final packaging because you make as much as possible. Since the DIY food production projects together would be too much for one post, they will each be covered in coming episodes. Stay tuned to see how easy it can be to provide your own necessities!

Thanks so much for all the support and all the viewer email we’ve gotten! We dig into our mailbag this week, and then after that show off our next project to try and lighten the burden on the world– a new set of vegetable and herb gardens in our apartment. They’re still quite new, but we give some ideas on how to grow food in an apartment cheaply and with limited space.
