Bill Weir welcomes you to ‘The Wonder List’

I happened to be wallowing in a fit of premature nostalgia the day my bosses asked what sort of TV show I wanted to make.

“A show about change,” I replied.

Much to my surprise, they said yes.

We mark our velocity on this planet in miles per hour, but lately I’ve been obsessed by a different metric we’ll call “CPL” — changes per lifetime.

As the show ramps up in the new year, I’m hoping you will come back here and chime in with your own Wonder List. Maybe there is a lake you’re trying to save, or a drive-in theater you’d like to mourn. I’d love to know how your corner of the world is changing and how you’re fighting back or rolling with the times.

The best thing about premature nostalgia is that when it hits, you may have just enough time to save what you love.

Dawn safari in India. Lovely (apart from the early start!) Off to Mumbai tomorrow for a day's filming.
