Laoag City, Northern Philippines - a metropolis on the rise. But economic success is a double-edged sword for this growing town. Streets are overrun with garbage and electricity is in short supply. Local residents and businesses are racing to solve these problems. Will clever adaptations of wind and hydroelectric technologies enable this city to generate power from resources it already has? Can a smart, albeit unconventional, method in waste management cleanse this city of its dirty problem? If these solutions work, Laoag City could become poised to meet the demands of its growing population.
