Global Warming: The things we did to change the world!

April 21, 2009

What is it? Why is it? Can it be fixed? Or will earth just eradicate us like it has so many before that we are now just waiting at the exit door for it to be opened and to be let out?

It has been said recently that one of the best places to find answers is at TED’s. A website for the talks put together each year by what I would call the smartest people on the planet. The wisest people on the planet. The most consciously aware people on the planet.

For those of you out there that feel that you can’t make a difference, that feel no passion for what needs to be done or no turmoil in your stomach’s at whats already been done and isn’t being stopped, there are voices to be listened to, and there are voices that must above all else be heard.

Here are just four of what I would consider the best talks at TED’s in recent times. These are by the way, not only great ideas, but also great solutions that we are all capable of doing. In fact I say we can do at least one of the ideas ourselves from this videos without any outside help. We can not only just choose one either if we so desire, but if only one idea is taken up by all of us, it would make a huge impact on things to come.

As Al Gore states “I wish I could find the words to convey this” when talking about the heroes that we need to make a change for the better and the fact that we have as humans and as people living in a democratic society(here in Australia and in the USA) the capacity and ability to make the choices that will change the world for the better, I too believe that deep down, we can do it. I deny anyone who thinks otherwise.

Please watch them, listen to what they have to say, acknowledge in your minds what exactly is achievable and most of all, find ways in your own lives that mimic if not copy some of the ideas put forth by the following speakers.

Ollie :) Remember, there’s no life quite like your life!

To start,
Al Gore: New thinking on the climate crisis

Shai Agassi: A bold plan for mass adoption of electric cars

Willie Smits: A 20-year tale of hope: How we re-grew a rainforest

Kamal Meattle: How to grow your own fresh air

  1. although I don’t necessarily agree with all Al gore says, he has some reasonable points. The last two videos were quite interesting :-)
