SOLUTIONS Now

Solutions Now is a documentary that examines all aspects of modern living and solutions for a more sustainable and responsible lifestyle.

We look not only at food and plastic pollution, but also fashion & beauty, energy, travel, education, well-being and even our economy.

As the population slowly approaches 8 billion, a unique set of challenges begins to present themselves. Things we take for granted today could become devastatingly complex problems in the world that is quickly reaching its carrying capacity. It is imperative that we tackle the issues of sustainability. In an era where sustainability is often associated with and dismissed as bohemian or hippie lifestyles, our society needs a radical paradigm shift in our thinking. In order to bring about this change in mass-mentality, we will need the minds of extraordinarily brave and bold thinkers who aren’t afraid of gargantuan challenges. Fortunately, we have Paula Miquelis and Stephanie Dickson. Steph and Paula are the founders of Green Is the New Black, a cooperative that aims to raise global consciousness in an attention-grabbing way. In SOLUTIONS Now, they take a journey through some of the world’s most populated and productive regions like Singapore and Hong Kong both sharing ideas on sustainable-living and learning new ideas in exchange.
