    BBC World Service radio -- One Planet Rare metals and smart lizards
    This week on One Planet we look at some precious metals - not silver and gold, but rare elements such as tungsten, cadmium and lithium.
    The Royal Society has warned that inefficient use of these scarce metals could cause us serious problems in the future - and urgent action is needed to preserve them. That's because these elements are essential for the electronic components which make up the modern wired world.
    On the show we speak to Professor Robert Ayres of the business school INSEAD who explains the problem, plus we visit the lab of Dr Julian Allwood at Cambridge University who is working on ways to recycle these rare metals much more efficiently.
