Hosted by international explorer Zay Harding, the series frames environmental stories as practical, hands-on projects. The format spotlights scientists, engineers and community members developing real-world solutions rather than abstract debate.

Season three will feature a range of notable guests, including actor Edward Norton, former NFL player and ocean-conservation advocate Kelvin Beachum, NASCAR driver Austin Green and Luci Baines Johnson. Episodes travel widely, from the Great Barrier Reef to American ports, racetracks and wildflower fields.
Episodes air on weekend mornings as part of the CBS WKND educational/informational block; local times vary by market.
