This 'Game of Thrones' star is taking his search for climate solutions global

On Oct. 23, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau traveled into the Ecuadorian Amazon to meet the Achuar Indigenous community, as season two of An Optimist's Guide to the Planet premiered on Bloomberg TV, highlighting their resistance to a proposed road.

Around 30 tons of discarded temple flowers are collected daily and repurposed into `flether`, a leather-like material created by a founder with a construction background.
An Optimist's Guide to the Planet airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. Eastern on Bloomberg Originals and is available on Samsung TV+, Amazon Prime Video, and LG channels.
Amid climate doomism, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau framed optimism as a choice and stressed human agency, saying `Technology is a tool that we can use; that we decide to use`, while Daphne Chouliaraki Milner emphasized storytelling responsibility.
