Why trivialize? You've been living in a world that doesn't understand this.

TED talk is much more interesting than this just because it's told by the guy who did it.

@meadowsirl go to RSA.org's youtube channel and look for "People and Planet - Speech only" video (approx 21 mins). Worth watching and sharing
