An Optimist's Guide to the Planet with Nikolaj Coster-Waldau

"Dusk or Dawn"

Synopsis:

An Optimist’s Guide to the Planet follows acclaimed actor and UN climate ambassador Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as he searches the world for the activists, scientists, and entrepreneurs who refuse to give into climate “gloom and doom” and instead forge solutions for our toughest problems. Across five continents and 17 countries, Nikolaj meets the people behind innovative, breathtaking, and sometimes amazingly simple solutions––from making clouds to shade sun-bleached coral reefs, to harnessing worms that can digest plastic, to forging a new balance between wildlife and humanity––that inspire his optimism for the future.

Episode Synopsis:
What's the difference between dusk and dawn? Between the coming of darkness and the beginning of new light? In this episode, Nikolaj discovers the difference is hope, a hope he finds in inspiring people, projects, and ideas all over the world.
