Hans Rosling has an important and often overlooked message about how the decisions made by the wealthiest affect the poorest and where we need to focus our goals when we talk about sustainability.

    I’ve got to admit, I love this talk. Not just the content, but Rosling’s delivery. Watched it 3 times today and still thinking about it.

    Ah, I agree Southern Fried Scientist! I’ve already showed the link to my mom and brother. This talk has cleared up many questions I’ve had on sustainablity. I really like how he brought up that his mom had to read since she didn’t have to do laundry. He does a great job of presenting the pros and cons of what technological advances has done. I now am on board with the great importance of finding alternate, green energy source!
