Iain Stewart looks at some of the world's most dramatic earthquakes and reveals the stories and science behind them. In seconds, these powerful forces of nature which cannot be predicted or prevented can shake a town to destruction and shift the landscape forever. We discover why quakes can last 60 times longer on the moon than on earth; how one particular earthquake fault line can produce hallucinations; and how 1960s Cold War spying gave scientists a crucial clue to understanding them.

The importance of the high seas
WWF's Global Marine Programme is working to increase international attention for the conservation of vast expanses of ocean, and immediately protect the high seas.

Known as the high seas, these international waters are open-access common areas for everyone.

Wind and solar energy is growing in India
Today coal accounts for approximately 57% of India's total energy consumption and is responsible for 67% of India's increased carbon emissions.
But renewable energy alternatives are growing rapidly throughout the country. Solar technology, wind power and other natural resources sources have been utilised to produce electricity, bringing power to those who would otherwise be without.
The abundance of natural resources in India uncover its potential as a world leader in renewable energy and prove that increased coal exports from Australia are unjustified and harmful.

A New Coca-Cola Ad With A Twist
Coke is trying to crush a hugely popular and proven recycling scheme before it can be implemented nationally.
Greenpeace made a new Coca-Cola ad — with a twist It exposes how this corporate giant is willing to let plastic pollution trash our oceans and kill our marine life by crushing the proven ‘Cash for Containers’ scheme. Coke won’t like it one bit — but it’s high time Australians knew the truth. Watch it now and stop Coca-Cola trashing Australia.

Tuna: Transhipment, Transparency
On the fringes of the Mauritian Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), Greenpeace International ampaigners witness how tuna is offloaded from a longliner to a reefer. Known as transshipping, this is a fishing operation that has little monitoring. This can lead to reefers, owned by international companies, receiving unsustainably or illegally caught tuna.
Hope in a Changing Climate Documentary by John Liu
John D Liu is an international expert on large scale restoration projects on degraded lands. First exposed to large-scale degraded ecosystems in the Loess Plateau in the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River in 1995, I became fascinated by how human history has altered physical landscapes.
The loss of biodiversity, hydrological regulation, weather regulation, climate regulation, soil fertility and agricultural productivity had led to massive poverty and continuous ecological crisis. "Over the years I have witnessed the steps the Chinese people have taken to restore this region's ecology and have tried to understand the implications of what I have seen and documented"
