This Week in GOOD

---

On Monday, we learned about an Atlanta museum dedicated to an exploration of the sometimes divisive and abstract concept of patriotism, before getting thoroughly punked by the Yes Men. We also started getting dispatches from the Alliance Youth Movement summit in Mexico City, and overheard a conversation between Wooster and the street artist C125. We urged developed nations (like ours) to pay our climate debts, lost our appetites over some sickness-inducing foods, and kicked off a new series dedicated to the fact and fiction behind biofuels, namely algae. It dawned on us that the United States is a food wasteland, that there is potential for Eastern tradition in the American Southwest, and that the SAT needs some revising.Be sure to check out our new water video, and don't forget that GOOD Senior Web Editor Andrew Price is blogging from the 2009 Pop Tech conference.Photo by Chris Davis, from this week's Picture Show, "At the Zacapa Hospital."
