[andreeaweed]

Patience and perseverance have a magical effect

[bucketonamonkeyshead]

Great - positive message and positive person.

[sdrawkcabnipyt]

I think thats the first "homegirl" on TED

[dinasaur2]

GO GREEN!

[MrIzzyDizzy]

there is a root cause of all these problems that not being addressed - its the monetary system - the answer is not jobs that can be done by robots - but a resource based economy -abundance and autonomy for all -see the zietgiest addendum and zietgiest moving forward to understand the problems fully and the solutions - i dont think projects like these can employ 15 million who want jobs and 15 million who given up and solve the debt and poverty around the world

[ADSwank]

What a great talk! Give a man a fish... @14:31

[wodahsking]

I like the way she started without beating around the bush. Straight to the point with examples!

[andresico2]

@painmaker300 ? 4% is the number that went back to jail, not the number that didn't return...

[weeearthlings]

love

[kinsmed]

A gutsy top-flight TED talk.

How sad that Judy Bonds' life proves the need for her cause.

Our cause.

[SuperVerdict]

is that the same Brenda that had a baby ???? lol

this was a good TEDTALK

interesting ideas

[P1ranh4]

Wow, these are some fine ideas.

[Shaunt1]

Yes, we should strive for a more sustainable future.

[BlakeBarbieDoll]

@Shaunt1 Yes they are!

[ShadowCloud143]

End the war on drugs, End the war on Americans.

[gavinplaysbass]

@TheLostSniper47

JUST about to say the same!

[oshinsr]

Interesting and inspiring talk. I wish she slowed down a bit.

[austpom333]

Want to be a real successful eco- entrepreneur ? develop a large - better power holding battery

[EgaoNoGenki]

Right; not Harvard, but $60k is quite close to sending one to Sarah Lawrence College though. (It's the most expensive University in the US!)

[kaminarigaston]

Ex-cons hired to create "skin care products" from bees.

Good, now they can be useful to society by producing BULLSHIT THAT DOESN'T WORK to make a fat business woman fatter!

[ohsocreamy]

@kaminarigaston trying to pull lines out of fight club? haha but seriously.. way to miss the point of the bee-line experiment

[kaminarigaston]

@ohsocreamy

I didn't watch the movie (nor read the book). People spoiled the end for me. Anyway, I DO get the point, it's just that... why do we always have to have our donuts laced with poo? Couldn't they make something usefull like, I don't know, RAKES? People actually have a use for rakes, you can step on them and have a comedic moment and whatnot. But skincare products from bees? I bet that they use propoleum or royal jelly and other crap that doesn't do shit. It's a scam.

[MockenValborg]

Shes hot.

[theprofits13]

Watching this video is killing me, I can solve all these problems with my ideas. But I just don't have the resources. :(

[palamanb2]

@theprofits13 you clearly don't get what she is saying then.... it's not about the resources.

[aleeks831]

@theprofits13 Learn Entrepreneurship! Textbooks, classes, videos. "Entrepreneurs look to create value regardless of the resources currently controlled." Think of yourself more as a coordinator, bringing together all the necessary ingredients and components into a beautiful harmony :]. Or, if you have a good idea give it to a trusted entrepreneur/business veteran and draft a rough business plan.

[bavwill]

@theprofits13 Not yet

[theprofits13]

@bavwill So true.

[Jointi5]

@theprofits13 boy you are an American, don't complain about your problems, fix them!

[theprofits13]

@Jointi5 Oh trust i will one day but today I am limited.

[lilthug19908]

lol, 1:33 they better have anger management training lol

[HensPie]

2:50 - herp

2:58 - DEEERP

[Shalek]

Pretty cool.

[chiciu]

great talk.... gives me ideas for the future of my town.

but man... i can't stop looking at her arms, they're massive.

she looks like she could really kick some ass.

[koneye]

It's all good and all , but , you come up with solutions to a problem some1 else has created ( vested interest ) , you are not attacking the problem creation, witch is more important here

[defect530]

so LA might be able to stop stealing water from us in the north? doubt it.

[DeletedDelusion]

Awesome talk!

[mazdaplz]

this is amazing, but where is her mask????

i thought i'd finally get to see majora's mask!!!

[Truthiness231]

@mazdaplz Yeah, as did I....

OOT/MM FTW ^.^

[MrDemonshalo]

she's got bugger arms than mine O.o

the talk was good though :P

[DreamsCatcher101]

@MrDemonshalo I bet she can spell BIGGER better than you too :-P

[archolon]

@DreamsCatcher101 Grammar nazi, he could be from another nationality and not have English as a first language. Also the U key is close to I so with that put 2 and 2 together and stop pointing out others mistakes.

[DreamsCatcher101]

@archolon HA Ha this coming from someone who moans at other people comments. Kinda hypocritical don't you think. I said it as a joke, you just seem to like bitching at people. I bet your good at making excuses.

[futureboy00]

@DreamsCatcher101 yeah you asshole... he's from sweeden... and in sweeden is considered rape if you spellcheck someone

[DavidEdwardSchnell]
