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 Italy, sophisticated industrial cooperatives out compete big international corporations while they provide decent work, economic security, and the highest standard of living in Italy.

Making Perfect People

The real life stories of differently able couples, making their own choices about genetic testing as they become parents. Pregnancy is a time of hope and vulnerability when parents want their child to be perfect. At times like this the dilemmas people face don't all have easy answers even the parents may disagree about what to do.

Why do people want children and how does DNA testing fit into that? What is a 'normal' human being? If genetic engineering can create happier, healthier humans, why not prevent people with 'defects' from having children or clone those who have the 'best' DNA? Should we enhance the DNA of some to create super-humans, mentally and physically gifted? Will the future see a genetic underclass whose parents didn't "correct" their genetic anomalies or "improve" their genetic inheritance?
