Every day, Sao Paulo generates 14,000 tons of garbage -- the weight of the leaning Tower of Pisa. Sao Paulo has embarked on a green revolution by harnessing hectares of trash to produce energy. Aluminum cans are the most recycled object on earth, and Brazil leads the way when it comes not only to recycling them, but the speed at which it's done.

In 2018 Mariana returns, and finds the country even more chaotic. Hundreds of thousands of acres of pristine land is up for the taking, and both corporations and wildcatters want a piece. Today a new conflict arises: FARC has abandoned their forest mines and new armed factions have sprung up in the void, each vying for control of illegal gold that brings in $7 billion per year alone. The scramble for control is unleashing a new round of bloodshed. Illegal gold mining is the largest cause of deforestation in Colombia, and scores of activists and union leaders have been murdered.
