Sylvia Earle: Here’s how to protect the blue heart of the planet (TED Prize winner!)

Legendary ocean researcher Sylvia Earle shares astonishing images of the ocean — and shocking stats about its rapid decline — as she makes her TED Prize wish: that we will join her in protecting the vital blue heart of the planet.

Can you help Sylvia make her wish come true?

18min 15sec

[Blogger's Note: Anna H. and I watched this live online and it was great to see all the support offered to Sylvia during the Q&A session after her talk... A director and a production house offered their assistance to publicise her message... Can't wait to see 'An Invonvenient Aquatic Truth'...    :)
I think any 'vegetarian' who stll eats fish really needs to listen to Sylvia Earle... ]

Barry Schwartz at TED2009
Barry Schwartz makes a passionate call for “practical wisdom” as an antidote to a society gone mad with bureaucracy. He argues powerfully that rules often fail us, incentives often backfire, and practical, everyday wisdom will help rebuild our world.
