Episode Synopsis

In this podcast, part 3 of 3, Tom Fries talks with Ruth Davis, Senior Political Advisor to Greenpeace International, about the organization's "Save the Arctic" campaign. There are a couple of tough questions to answer: First; why does Greenpeace feel that non-Arctic people should have a significant say in what happens in the Arctic? Second; if subsurface development in the Arctic is to be stopped, what alternative industries does Greenpeace think might help Northern communities flourish? These and many other difficult issues arise when "outsiders" try to influence what happens in the Arctic.
