- My name is Damon, and this is my daughter, Velvet.
Her major concern right now is the elusive art
of sleep direction.
But soon, she'll have to face
a rapidly deteriorating environment.
- The ice sheet is now melting faster
than the scientists predicted.
- I think there's room for a different story,
a story that focuses on the solutions
to some of these problems.
So in 2040, what will the world look like for our daughter
if we just embraced the best that already exists?
- Instead of having governments
that are reacting to disaster, we need governments
and businesses that actually take us off
in a different direction.
- Maybe it's farming or it can be energy,
it can be housing, or empowering girls.
- I'd like to see deforestation being stopped.
- Oh, that would be so cool, that'd be awesome.
- Just be respectful to earth.
- Imagine Velvet.
If we adopted regenerative practices like Fraser's,
pulling the carbon into the soil
and making it healthier.
- That's right, yeah. - And we embrace
efficient local energy.
- Bangladesh has five million solar home systems.
They have their power in their own hands.
This is bringing people together.
- Here I am sitting on the aeroplane
that is spewing out carbon.
You can't help but be a hypocrite
because our entire system is built on fossil fuels.
- What were you guys thinking?
- Well sometimes, we weren't.
- The power of innovation, imagination, creativity,
they sit within all people.
- People want to be working on something that they can see
is actually helping to regenerate the world.
- Everywhere you look, you will see incredible
reasons for hope.
- You can feed 10 billion people with the protein
from marine permaculture alone.
- Wow.
Not only are there so many people who want to take part
in telling a story, we have everything we need right now
to make it happen.
What's your 2040?
- I just want the future to be good.
