On Monday, TBS does its part in publicizing serious global issues with the 2-hour special "Mirai no Kodomotachi e Chikyu no Kiki wo Sukuu Okane no Tsukai-kata (How to Use Money to Solve Global Crises for Children of the Future)" at 9 p.m.
The Earth faces many serious problems, from environmental degradation and global warming to widespread poverty and overcrowding. When tackling these huge issues with money, it has been said "how much" is less important than "how."
The program sends celebrities to various areas of the world to research the best ways to spend money for solving local problems. Actress Aoi Miyazaki and her brother Masaru go to Bangladesh, where they meet a girl who does not attend school because she must work in the rice market every day to feed her family. The program also includes an appearance by Leonardo DiCaprio, who talks about global warming.
