Saturday

0005 -
	ASIA PACIFIC REVIEW* - interviews and reports from the region. [T;%]
0030 -
	AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS* - stories from and about Australia with Roger 
Broadbent. This week: Imagine a scenario in the future, where oil is so 
expensive that farming machinery runs on bio-diesel, and farmers grow 
crops that produce energy. Or where cattle and sheep have the same 
rights as people and livestock producers are bound by those laws. Well 
the Research and Development Corporation, Land and Water Australia, has 
been asking, how can we prepare for future shocks - especially those 
affecting Landscapes, Lifestyles and Livelihoods? As we’ll hear on this 
week’s Australian Express they've launched a new CD ROM to help 
community groups, scientists and policy makers, think about and prepare 
for, our future environment. We also think about water, that most 
precious of commodities and how to get it from where it’s plentiful to 
somewhere it’s not. And meet ‘Water Hero 2005’ a conscientious 
gentleman who’s heavily into grey water and dual composting toilets.

civilization covers the Earth. For the first time in history, all our 
10,000-year bets rest on a single throw. [T;%]
