Here is the radio show Marketplace's archive of it's extensive special report on sustainability, Consumed

"We are what we buy — a glib adage to be sure, but it prompts an interesting question: Is our consumer society sustainable?

And we examine how, and if, it might be adapted to reduce its destructive consequences while keeping store shelves stocked."
