http://www.ted.com/talks/chris_jordan_pictures_some_shocking_stats.html REALLY cool video about a guy who specializes in photography (kind of), and finds a way to share lots of worrying statistics about environmental issues, health issues, and other stuff by creating a picture. Only 11 mins.

Alex Steffen talks about the ecological footprint of Westernized countries. About 4 or 5 mins into the video he starts talking about ways that cities can and already are doing things to lessen their ecological footprint. Do you think these ideas will work? What other ideas do you have?

http://www.ted.com/talks/michael_specter_the_danger_of_science_denial.html

Michael Specter speaks about why humanity needs to put its trust back in science. He feels that many people have lost faith in science because it crosses ethical boundaries and so on, but in his opinion, this denial of science could seriously affect the rate of human progress. He's a pretty good speaker.
