Power, Pollution, Protest
Think of pollution and you think of oil - the smog choking the city, tar fouling the beaches, the refinery ruining the skyline. There was a time when big oil companies could buy their way past any opposition. The Alaska pipeline battle showed just how effective dedicated defenders of the environment can be. It taught the multinationals to draw up their own plans for preserving the local landscape. But is that really possible when Big Oil arrives?

The last of four programmes Nodrup's Monastery Presented by Michel Peissel
Karsha, in the Kingdom of Zanskar, is one of the last of the great Tibetan monasteries. The monks live by rules laid down by their founder, the Buddha, more than
2.500 years ago. Like medieval Europe, nearly a quarter of Zanskar's population are monks. They are the second sons of an agricultural community that is rich enough to keep them in the monasteries, but too poor to allow them to stay at home, marry and multiply. The monasteries may seem an economic luxury, but this is Zanskar's equivalent of Cape Canaveral, and the monks are engaged in the psychic equivalent of a moonshot.
