...After an hour of doom and gloom, the film shifts into problem-solving mode - as it must, to keep us from feeling so much eco-anxiety that we'll want to commit eco-suicide. The solutions promoted here are very much design-oriented, showing all the ways we can plot and plan our way to a more energy-efficient, sustainable tomorrow, today. Green architecture gets star placement, and eco-design gurus like William MacDonough talk about the need to create "cradle-to-cradle" products that can be recycled, or reincarnated, over and over.

Even in the City, London's fiercely competitive financial center, the number of new jobs is set to slip by two-thirds this year, according to the capital's Centre for Economics and Business Research. But despite the doom and gloom, there's still room enough for specialist sectors to grow handsomely. London's leading share of international markets means Britain's financial services sector should still grow by 4.7% this year, according to Ernst & Young.
