BBC World Service - Boston Calling, Uncharted Waters

To understand climate change, look at it from a mussel's perspective

If mussels could talk they might tell you that they are concerned about climate change. 

Also on the programme: The average fish, served to diners in American restaurants, has travelled 5,000 miles before ending up on a plate; Coke and Pepsi bury the hatchet to work together in Mexico -- planting trees; some schools in the US adopt a new, more accurate world map; presenter Marco Werman says goodbye to his car mechanic; plus we jam out to some Astro-Atlantic Hypnotica from the Cape Verde islands.
