'Costing the Earth confronts accepted views on the environment. I think the programme consistently manages to get the real story and tell it in a way that makes people care.'

Dropping us all in it
In this week's edition of Costing the Earth, Miriam O'Reilly hears how Britain's growing litter mountain threatens to engulf the streets and local authority budgets of towns and cities across the land. Tough new legislation has made it an offence to drop litter in public spaces and waste disposal companies are beginning to come up with high tech solutions to process other people's carelessly discarded leftovers. The traditional way of dealing with rubbish has been to bury it in landfill sites but as Costing the Earth found out, there are some intriguing new ideas about how we deal with litter in the future.
