Scottish town's environmental Trump problem

Short film makers posted a thought-provoking video on Current Television's website about the problem of large developers and environmental damage. Billionaire real estate and resort developer Donald Trump won a highly protested bid to build a golf course that will partially destroy nationally protected sand dunes in Scotland. Golf courses use pesticides and irrigation techniques that are potentially damaging to water sources. Golf courses also bring tourists which can help enrich communities that lack other tourist infrastructure.
