Click here to learn more about this film: www.classroomvideo.co.uk Can economic growth be environmentally sustainable? Footage filmed in the slums of Dhaka shows just how bad industrial pollution can get and the victims of globalisation explain how it is affecting their environment and health. Next the programme talks to environmental activists, factory owners and government officials and ask what needs to be done to make industrial growth in Bangladesh sustainable? It then sees how a company sited in a UK National Park is facing the same challenge, but by reducing pollution, waste and energy consumption is reducing their carbon footprint while also saving money. This DVD includes a fantastic bank of teacher resources and student activities, designed and written by Bob Digby, educational consultant, GCSE principal examiner and author of numerous geography text books.
