Segment 1 -- "Peak Moment"
Jan Spencer didn't stop with a permaculture makeover of his suburban home in Eugene, Oregon. Now he's taking on the neighborhood! As a result, his neighborhood association is teaming up with city programs like Neighborhood Watch and Emergency Response to empower neighbors to work together. They're transforming lawns and abandoned lots into edible gardens, and sharing knowledge about energy efficiency, permaculture, and preparedness. These grass roots endeavors help people feel more secure in their homes, because they're connected with neighbors they can rely on.

Segment 3 -- "Omar Is My Friend"
A student at Baghdad University works as a taxi driver to support his wife and four daughters.
