The U.S. faces a critical energy dilemma: immediate fossil fuel needs, exacerbated by global crises, conflict with the urgent scientific imperative to rapidly reduce production to avert climate catastrophe. Fossil fuel companies' claims of decarbonization are unsubstantiated, given their history of obstructing climate action.

Climate politics expert Kate Aronoff explores how policymakers must expand their toolkit to manage an orderly decline of the fossil fuel era, fostering a collective stake in our energy future.

Nikola Kováčová, known as Surová dcérka, once believed meat was essential. Her perspective shifted after moving to India, where she became vegan, initially for comfort, then due to concerns about animal husbandry's environmental impact. While she once wished everyone would go vegan, Nikola now advocates for "reducetarianism."

A photographer and creative director in Prague, Nikola has actively blogged for six years on dcerka.sk, covering ethical veganism, recipes, and cruelty-free cosmetics. Vegan since October 2013, she is now publishing "Slovegán," the first Slovak vegan cookbook. This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.

Thierry Vrain, a retired soil biologist and former head of a molecular biology department, spent his career engineering nematode resistance in crops. In retirement, as a gardener, he gained a deeper understanding of soil ecosystems.

Observing public concern about food safety, Vrain, with his expertise in genetic engineering, felt compelled to act. He has joined a campaign to educate consumers about potential health issues reported in recent scientific literature.
