The climate is changing and becoming more unstable, the era of cheap energy is over. Good jobs are disappearing, while the rich get richer and the poor stay poor. At times it seems like everything is out of control.
But some people are finding more sustainable ways to live - growing food, doing business, making cities better places to live, while treating people and the planet with more respect.
Finding Solutions presents their stories - of people who have discovered how to lead modern and fulfilling lives without destroying the earth and each other. There is a city called Curitiba in southern Brazil which is known as the most sustainable in the world and the state of Kerala in India which enjoys some of the highest health and social standards in the world while also protecting wildlife, and indigenous people.
In North America, local agriculture is coming back, and farmers’ markets are booming; farmers are discovering that organic methods are more sustainable, and they produce more food per acre. In the Basque coutry of northern Spain, sophisticated industrial cooperatives out compete big international corporations while they provide decent work and economic security, in the region with the lowest unemployment in Spain.
