This Week in GOOD

  • Posted by: GOOD
  • on May 1, 2009 at 8:13 pm

Did you guys realize that today was No Pants Day? And May Day? No. Because it’s Friday. And you’re entirely consumed by the sheer joy of making it to the weekend without succumbing to swine flu.

This week, we learned about the untapped potential of thermal solar, the gutless lexicon of media discussions of torture, the nation’s most dangerous drugs, the difficulties of creating user-friendly taxes, and the devastating vastness of Los Angeles gridlock.

We also got up close and personal with the guerrilla art of Vincent Moon and the new phenomenon of climate change refugees.

Remember to stop by Unique LA tomorrow. It promises to be a grand old time.
