e2: Transport DVD

Brad Pitt narrates the most recent installment of the e² series – e² transport – which examines sustainable transportation alternatives with potentially far-reaching effects, and how innovator's work is producing solutions to pressing environmental and social challenges. The series introduces a broad range of ideas to address the crises of automobile culture and fossil fuel dependence: from existing technologies, to long-term urban planning, to economic incentives. The six e² transport episodes explore the transformation of London into a transit-efficient capital thanks to visionary mayoral leadership; Paris’ ambitious public-private Vélib’ bike initiative; the potential for local food production to lessen the environmental impact of the global food market and build healthier, more sustainable communities; the effort to reduce traffic and pollution in Seoul, Korea by restoring the Chonggyecheon Stream as a center of public life; Portland, Oregon, as a global model of transit-oriented development and urban “livability”; and the efforts made by aerospace corporations, technology firms and administrators to make the aviation industry more efficient.
