Description

The Seamless Web: All of our energy comes from the sun, but before it becomes useful to man it has usually gone through a long chain of plant and animal life. All of the strands of this web are interconnected, and to tamper with any part of it means unforeseen effects elsewhere in the total environment. Man is only slowly learning the lesson that in nature there is no such thing as a free lunch. This programme examines man's relationship to his environment and what choices he must make to preserve it.
