For those of you who don't know what TED is, TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, and Design. Basically, some of the brightest minds in the world come together in Long Beach, California to discuss their work and how to make the world a better place. The speakers are given strict time limits to discuss massive topics. Some of the talks are humorous, inspiring, engaging, beautiful or just interesting.
This is the TED talk that began my interest in all of this. Some blog somewhere posted a list of amazing animal videos and linked to this. I must admit, I was utterly amazed. David Gallo spends 5 minutes chronicling the astonishing creatures below the surface. At this moment, public awareness of our impact on the ecosystem has skyrocketed. So please, enjoy the wonders of nature under the sea.
Let this remind you of what will be missing in the wake of the Gulf Oil Spill crisis. In addition, a newly published TED Talk from TEDxOilSpill can be found at this link. If want to understand the cost of the crisis, Carl Safina lays it all on the line.
