Last year one of our TED Prize winners Ed Burtynsky made a powerful wish at TED. He wanted to find a way of using his photography to make people think harder about our planet’s future.
Well, this is one way to do just that. (Go to the page, take a deep breath, and run the video).
If you want to support Ed’s wish, please link to this as widely as possible and then email me (chris@ted.com) to say what you’ve done. We want to publicly acknowledge the best efforts at TED next week.
