The Biofuel Myth:
Harsh Realities in the Developing World Once widely considered a sustainable energy source, some forms of biofuel are now seen as exploitative and environmentally harmful. This film focuses on the plight of Indonesia’s Orang Rimba people, who live in rain forests threatened by palm oil plantations. The video profiles tribal and Western anti-deforestation activists, as well as an E.U. leader who once supported agrofuel quotas but now recog- nizes their destructive impact.

Periodic Table: Ferocious Elements Of all the more than 100 chemical elements, which metals and nonmetals are the most reactive? After a quick trip to London’s Portobello Road Market to look at copper, silver, and gold jewelry in order to establish a baseline for metal stability, this program heads to the lab. Attributes of lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium and of group I in general are identified; similarly, nonmetals of group VII—fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine—are examined.
