(Visit: http://www.uctv.tv/) Premature births, unexplained human and livestock sicknesses, flammable water faucets, toxic wells and the onset of hundreds of earthquakes: the impacts of fracking are far-reaching and deeply felt. Professor Sara Wylie (Northeastern University) describes the fossil fuel connection between climate change and endocrine disruption and how the fossil fuel and petrochemical industries twin toxicities might be resisted together. Wylie also explores the need, and potential, to build alternative public interest databases and environmental health research tools. Recorded on 11/28/2018.

Solutions to tackle plastic pollution are within reach so we can avoid a future in which there are more plastic than fish in our oceans. Sir David Attenborough supports a circular economy for plastic, in which we eliminate the plastic we don’t need, innovate so all the plastic we do need is designed to be safely reused, recycled, or composted and circulate everything we use so the material stays in the economy and never becomes waste or pollution.

In an age where energy is a top priority for researchers and government officials all around the world, David Maissonier sheds a little bit of light on the complexity and difficulty around the energy

In an age where energy is a top priority for researchers and government officials all around the world, David Maissonier sheds a little bit of light on the complexity and difficulty around the energy limits of our planet. Are renewable energy sources really that great as everybody says? How many people die because of energy production? Is nuclear energy really the solution for the future? Watch this talk to learn the answer to these questions – and much more! David Maisonnier is the Head of Sector of the Energy Directorate at the European Commission.

We’ve got a Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/TEDxYouthEEB3/) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/tedxyouthateeb3) page, too! Fusion energy presents several limits. We are today closer to limitless clean energy: recent experiments show nuclear fusion reactors could supply electricity to households by 2030. To achieve Fusion on earth requires hitting the 15 million °C milestone, which is 10 times hotter than the core of the sun - one of highest temperature limits at our reach. In this talk, David Maissonier will explore the limits of energy on our similarly limited planet. Indeed, when we look at the energy production/consumption worldwide, many figures are staggering, and we really wonder whether there is a limit to the energy we can produce. However, if we then look at the way in which we consume, and often waste, our limited natural resources, we wonder whether there is a limit to the stupidity of humanity! This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
