TEDxWWF - Will Day: Is the world's current economic model really sustainable?
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
Will Day, a thought leader in sustainability, looks at what we currently understand of global trends, particularly focusing on issues like population, water and ecosystem health. He will also share his analysis of the the perverse incentives in the current model by which we live - the things we measure, things we value, and the short term nature of our demands. This all calls into question the ability of the planet to support a high consumption lifestyle for 9+ billion people. About TEDx: In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations) http://www.tedxwwf.com

Well, one in every three persons in the world smokes cigarette, according to WHO. Not even mentioning alcohol and other things. Human beings always try to make amends when they start to fall apart. The world is falling apart, probably people will only start reacting when they see some coastal countries submerging. It's a choice to be made by everyone. It's not easy. But at least there need to be genuine discussions about it across the world. All the best fellow human beings.
