Peter Day talks to those who are finding ways to reduce Australia's impact on the environment without losing out economically.
Australia is known as the lucky country - abundant in sunshine, mineral resources and cheap electricity and water. But it seems that their luck might be running out. They are the world's largest exporter of coal… per capita they have one of the biggest carbon footprints, bigger even than the USA and currently in the grip of a seven year drought.
Like elsewhere in the world the politicans, scientists and population are beginning to realise that they will have to make changes.

About the programme
Ìý We try to make ear-grabbing programmes about the whole world of work, public and private, from vast corporations to modest volunteers.
In Business is all about change. New ways of work and new technologies are challenging most of the assumptions by which organisations have been run for the last 100 years. We try to report on ideas coming over the horizon, just before they start being talked about. We hope it is an exhilarating ride.
