We all know that throwing rubbish on the ground is littering, so why is letting a balloon float away seen as something different? "Rubber Jellyfish" explores the effects of helium balloons on the environment, wildlife, and human beings. Carly Wilson sets out on a personal journey to meet key players on all sides in the fight to ban balloons, and exposes the confronting truth behind our favourite party product. As she travels around Australia seeking to understand the science and various points of view, Carly discovers a range of issues, from the heartbreaking impact on sea turtles to the potentially deadly effect of helium on children. Her journey takes her from littered beaches to the capital, as she speaks to activists, businesses, and politicians to find out why the balloon problem is being ignored and if something can be done.

A group of passionate and adventurous young people leave their known worlds behind to spend 100 days in the jungles of Borneo. Their mission: saving rainforests and endangered orangutans. But time is running out and the odds are against them.
Jojo, an orphaned baby orangutan, is entrusted in their care and they must find a way to return her to her forest home.
Their challenges include building an orangutan rehabilitation centre, introducing a satellite monitoring system called Earthwatchers, replanting a forest and building a global support network.
This is a story about what it takes to be an eco-warrior, an individual willing to step up and take action to avert a global catastrophe. For them, every individual matters, every action counts.
