There are more and more stories out there in the news about "good stuff" -- people helping each other, community service, ways to live better/greener -- than there used to be. Advertising will always be in the mix, but we don't have to let it sway us to over-consume. I agree that limiting media exposure can be a good thing, but I don’t think all media exposure is bad.

Today we (at least all of your readers) consume mass media every day. What seems to be most important is the quantity and quality of that media exposure. As someone who always struggles with the quantity side of things, I can attest that "this ain't easy" especially in today's interconnected world. However, when we become very conscious of the effects on our self and others, including the environment, the benefits of a media diet become quickly visible. Thanks!
