Usinsks Oil Clean Up

Greenpeace team return to Russia's Komi region where at least 100,000 tonnes of oil have spilled from oil pipelines since last August. The oil spills which have caused irreparable damage to the fragile Arctic environment can never be fully cleaned up. The clean up is primitive and has caused further environmental damage through the building of roads and new dams to contain the oil.
