Do you feel the need for speed? Millions of us do, and this week One Planet comes from one of motor racings great spectacles, the TT Races on the Isle of Man. Mike mingles with the leather wearing pros and avid amateurs as he asks how this gas guzzling sport is driving clean energy technology. We hear from the inventor of an electric motor, the Island's chief minister, a professional racer, and two French tourists. There's a host of other elements in this week's programme, we hear one rather interesting eco-friendly idea that involves going up a large mountain with a bucket of paint. Plus we hear from a group of Buenos Aires workers with advice on how to weather an economic storm. As ever, tune in and let us know what you think.
