By 2100, climate change will make most of the Maldives uninhabitable. Solution? The world’s first floating city to house 20,000 people, at a price most Maldivians can’t afford. Meanwhile in Japan, a man has come up with “edible” plastic bags to protect deer.<br /><br />These floating cities sound great until you learn that each home costs an estimated $250K. Taking the GDP of Maldives into consideration, each person would need 30 roommates to afford a house. What’s the point of solutions that lack income awareness? <br /><br />And speaking of short-term solutions to a long term problem, edible plastic bags are a new invention to protect an animal considered sacred in Japan: the deer. It’s going to take a lot more than biodegradable plastics to fix climate change, but doesn’t every effort count? <br /><br />Host & Producer<br />Abby Govindan<br /><br />Producer<br />Sanjna Selva<br />Joy Jihyun Jeong<br /><br />Writer<br />Yamini Nambimadom<br /><br />Director of Photography<br />Boya Sun<br /><br />Associate Producer<br />Ella Chi<br /><br />Editor-In-Chief<br />Keshia Hannam<br /><br />Head of Production<br />Stephanie Tangkilisan<br /><br />Editor<br />Sabrina Sinaga<br /><br />Animator<br />Sabrina Sinaga<br /><br />Additional Archival Material<br />ShutterStock<br />Getty Images<br />Forbes<br />Phineas and Ferb<br />CNN<br />Insider<br />Tiktok @yoleendadong<br />France 24<br />PBS<br />World Wildlife Fund<br />Frito-Lay<br />PBS ReInventors<br />POLITICO<br />CNBC<br />The Sun<br />Architectural Digest
