Technology is not going to save us, ecology will! | Theunis Piersma | TEDxFryslân

[KatiePatrickHello]

What a great title. So true. I did a TEDx talk a couple of years ago on a similar idea. I live in silicon valley and everyone is so tech-centric here. No one talks about ecosystems.

[BeautifulNaturalDramatic]

Brilliant perspective on the significance of Ecology - technology has it's benefits, but we need to Re-Focus our Efforts on rejuvenating, conserving and restoring Nature, for both the Planet Earth itself and for our very own existence.

[Cybernaut]

Your talk has kinetic energy in motivating people.

[markschuette]

i don't consider elon musk an environmentalist. he's a technologist- and technology is synonymous with energy- right now its still fossil fuels.

What would have to happen to earth for it to be less habitable than mars??

[yunusemresahin]

I think someone should make a serious interdisciplinary research about going back to some form of ecological global community, lay some groundwork. So we can say "here is the blueprint, do it" to the world leaders and the UN. Otherwise we have no choice but to rely on technology which is a dead end as we know it.

[romanamerlene]

very accurate plans for something like that I found on Avasva

[yashkondekar]

can someone explain to me what he meant when he said shame birds?

[nikitosick]

People around the globe are worrying about Global Warming and power plants that create

Green House Gases. Some of you hate technology and want to live a green life; others want to

use technology to help the planet by searching for another planet habitable for life: or you might

just be one citizen who loves the Earth. Whatever the case, we all want a better Earth. You can

all help by just reading a few books and watch some movies! My friends and I had tried these

ourselves, too. After you watch and read them, you might change your mind on quite a lot of

matters! Here are the books and movies and I hope you all will have a great time with them!

(Please read or watch them in the order that I labeled.)

1. George’s Secret Key Series (by Stephen and Lucy Hawking)

2. Star Wars (by George Lucas)

3. Moon Base Alpha Series (by Stuart Gibbs)

4. Fun Jungle Series (by Stuart Gibbs)
