Is consumerism making us irresponsible?

From the creator

Nick Offerman says he shares a few similarities with Ron Swanson, the ornery libertarian he played on NBC’s hit comedy “Parks and Recreation” — among them, a signature mustache and a love of carpentry. In this episode of Settle In, Geoff Bennett speaks with Offerman about how woodworking has shaped his life and why he wrote “Little Woodchucks,” a woodworking guide for children. They also chatted about playing President Chester Arthur in the new Netflix miniseries, “Death by Lightning.” ------- Watch PBS News for daily, breaking and live news, plus special coverage.
