Humankind can be seen as either the climax of evolution’s course, or as its greatest error," declared the report of the World Commission on Environment and Development. "No other creature is a fraction so precocious, or reveals such capacity for perverse behaviour - for gross misuse of its habitat and for reckless proliferation of numbers, without thought for the consequences." World Television’s series of stylish, three-minute educational videos for 11-18 year olds look at the problems facing humanity today - through consumption, population growth, commerce and agriculture to debt and energy - and their possible solution.
