Reminder of Why We’re Doing This Work
Posted by davidwfox on 05 Jul 2008 | Tagged as: video
My friend Mark Feenstra copied me this video last week. With all the daily distractions I find it useful to see reminders like this…
Severn Cullis-Suzuki is the daughter of David Suzuki (who isn’t so well known in the US but I recall him making an impression when I heard his message during his visits to Australia in the 80s).
I was fortunate to hear Severn speak at the annual Bioneers Conference a couple of years back. Like her father, she is a compelling speaker and I look forward to sharing this video with my daughter in a couple of years. (I’m hoping she’ll grow up to be an influential activist!)

Don’t Have $6k For A Ticket To TED? Watch Past Presentations Online
Posted by davidwfox on 26 Jan 2008 | Tagged as: events, people, video
One of the hottest event tickets of the year is the annual TED Conference held in Monterey. From its roots in technology, entertainment and design, the content has expanded to include science, business, the arts and the global issues facing our world. Over four days, 50 speakers each take an 18-minute slot, and there are many shorter pieces of content, including music, performance and comedy. There are no breakout groups. Everyone shares the same experience - and you can share some of it via nearly 200 videos, from which I’ve selected the following as most relevant to Greenr’s mission to “Accelerate the Change!”:
Janine Benyus: 12 sustainable design ideas from nature
William McDonough: The wisdom of designing Cradle to Cradle
Amory Lovins: We must win the oil end game
Larry Brilliant: The case for informed optimism & TEDTalks: Larry Brilliant
William Kamkwamba on building a windmill
John Doerr: Seeking salvation and profit in greentech
Jeff Bezos: After the gold rush, there’s innovation ahead
Craig Venter: A voyage of DNA, genes and the sea
Majora Carter: Greening the Ghetto
Enjoy!
