Dubai has one of the worst environmental records in the world. So it's not the most likely place you'd expect to find a new Green movement. But in the past few weeks, Dubai has introduced the eco-mosque to the Middle East, the first of its kind in the Islamic world. Consultants behind the idea say they've cut the mosque's consumption of water by half, and energy by a quarter. The BBC's Mark Lobel paid a visit.
