We're talkin' 'bout a revolution on this week's show. A revolution that's sweeping across large parts of the world - one that's changing flows of cash, altering the way businesses work, and encouraging people to switch jobs. It's the green revolution - a rather vague term - but in this week's show Mike considers what it actually means for people and businesses.

He heads to the north east of England - an area once renowned for its heavy industry, but which has declined dramatically in recent decades. On the River Tees he finds plenty of shipyards, but not many ships being built. However, you can find evidence of that revolution here, among the giant empty buildings and silted up ship ramps.

Alex Dawson runs TAG Energy Solutions, and they're hoping to transform one of the old shipyards into a manufacturing hub creating hundreds of green jobs. They want to build wind turbines. Plenty of other businesses in the region are also hoping to win work from the booming renewable energy sector.

Also in the show, we speak to the Silicon Valley investors looking to fund the many green tech companies sprouting up, and we hear from some of the workers doing one of the toughest "green jobs" - the city scavengers of Mumbai.
