This is one of the best shows happening right now. Wheel the TV into those classrooms and let American students watch this, please!

Is so refreshing to have a documentary not focusing mainly on the problems ahead but on where solutions lays, hopefully sparking something in all of us that we can do or be part of.

Whoever chose Grimes as the theme song - kudos

After watching this episode I have two comments, first, please continue this series, and the second and more importantly, I’m extremely excited to see what Gen Z comes up with. I’m on the oldest spectrum of millennials but it’s awesome to see youth who are both intelligent and emotionally intelligent❤️

The ocean cleanup is a phenomenal organization. My wife and I donate to them. I remember right out of the gate with their initial devices to clean said ocean(s) people just crapped all over them (unfortunately), but they’re truly an awesome organization. I’ve got a pair of those sunglasses too❤️🫡

Can I please take this video back in time to my Jr. High School? You just wouldn’t believe what suspense them poor people endured over this subject. 😂 I know my Government teacher would have loved this. Oh and anybody got a Time Machine I can barrow for a few?

This might be better than the first episode, all around great series so far. I was very happy to see the pushback against GDP, it is not a measure of anything but greed. Better social contracts now!

The Mayan (among many indigenous cultures around the world) predicted this era beginning 2012. A decade or two +\- ain't bad. "The future is here, just not evenly distributed"

This is so brilliant and inspiring.

I feel way more in-tune with with the native way of thinking as I age out.
