Edward Burtynsky: TED Prize wish: Share the story of Earth's
Loading...
Uploaded by TEDtalksDirector on Apr 15, 2008
http://www.ted.com Accepting his 2005 TED Prize, photographer Edward Burtynsky makes a wish: that his images -- stunning landscapes that document humanity's impact on the world -- help persuade millions to join a global conversation on sustainability. Burtynsky presents a riveting slideshow of his photographs, which show vividly how industrial development is altering the Earth's natural landscape. From mountains of tires to rivers of bright orange waste from a nickel mine, his images are simultaneously beautiful and horrifying.

What I really like about the bulk of the TED talks is the appreciation of the role of kids, education and awareness in our future. This brilliant speech is a good example.
