EPISODE 1: GUARDIANS

The Choco rainforest located in Ecuador rivals the Amazon in biodiversity and yet
only 2% of the rainforest remains due to illegal logging. Topher White has a solution, a “Guardian” -- a solar-powered listening device made of old cell phones that can be affixed hundreds of feet up on trees and report sounds of chainsaws to rangers in real time.

EPISODE 2: POWER

Nthabi and her co-founders at Easy Solar aim to bring back the power to one of
the world’s poorest countries, Sierra Leone, by harnessing the one thing that cannot be taken away: the sun.

EPISODE 3: PROJECT KAKUMA

In the largest refugee camp in the world, the children are hungry learners but lack the school infrastructure to support their active minds. The Maggie Project has a way to help: new schools made out of recyclable and sustainable tent-like material that can withstand decades, and is refugee camp approved.
