TED Radio Talks: Everything is Connected

Photograph© Paola Berthoin

This series of talks featuring various aspects of what we all depend on...oxygen maintenance, bee pollination, the wild, sounds of the natural world. How are these aspects connected and why should we care? Absolutely worth your time to listen...

You will hear from Bernie Krause and the significance of the loss of natural sounds for habitats and and for humans; George Monbiot on rewilding and the significance reintroducing extinct animals (yes, a wild idea!) and of maintaining the web of life from the microscopic to the megafauna; Jane Poynter on what was learned from Biosphere Two ---Oxygen anyone? Marla Spivak talks on the crisis of disappearing bees--- bees, through pollination, make it possible for us to enjoy all the wonderful foods available to us.

This isn't just about "environmentalists" and "the environment". This is about everyone's future.

Think like a bee,
hope is what we need. 
Through rewilding
the orchestra of the natural world 
comes alive, 
once again,
given a chance.
Slowing down, listen ---
what do you hear
where you live?
Plant a seed, flowers pollinated,
bees do the heavy lifting.
Think like a bee society.
Think like a whale pod.
Think like a bat family.
Plant flowers!
Create pollinator habitats.
Build  connections
for us all,
A small act---free of toxicity.
Oh, what a wonderful world
it could be!
