0:14 – Could visiting this country be good for your health?: Sweden has teamed up with doctors for a new ad campaign about the health benefits of a visit, billing itself as ‘the first country in the world that doctors can prescribe’.

1:53 – This technology is the next generation of plastic recycling: What if there was an alternative to the current imperfect recycling systems?

4:41 – By 2035, 1.2 billion young people will reach working age in emerging markets. But there might only be jobs for a third of them: The World Bank forecasts a shortfall of 800 million jobs in emerging markets by 2035.

8:44 – In Angola, this community used to hunt sea turtles. Now it protects them: Previously, locals in Hojiua, Angola, would kill up to 30 sea turtles a day to cook and sell. Now, they have jobs as caretakers and beach patrollers in an ecotourism economy based around turtle preservation.
