My uber talented friend Shelley Lewis is the executive producer of the new “Need to Know” on PBS, which premiered last Friday night. The show (and its accompanying website) will feature topics each week about which we all should be informed from the environment (oil spill!) to culture (Facebook privacy).
I enjoyed the feature on Emily Pilloton, the curator of the Design Revolution Road Show, who is touring the country with an Airstream packed with products designed to make the world a better place… genius items like “Adaptive Eyewear” (above), which allows people in developing countries to adjust their own prescriptions without the expensive services of an optometrist. Watch all the brilliant ideas to make the world better here.
