Van Jones presents a compelling social justice case against plastic pollution. He argues that plastic waste disproportionately harms impoverished communities and nations "first and worst," with far-reaching consequences for everyone, regardless of location or income.

In this powerful TEDxGreatPacificGarbagePatch [TEDxGP2] talk, filmed in 2010, Jones offers actionable ideas to reclaim our "throwaway planet." The event was produced by the Plastic Pollution Coalition at the Annenberg Community Beach House in Santa Monica, California.

Alexander Van de Putte, a Senior Director and Operating Officer at PFC Energy International, discusses how "givens" and "wildcards" will influence future global energy needs.

He defines "givens" as low-uncertainty, high-impact events such as climate change, demographics, and hydrocarbon supply, all of which significantly affect energy production. "Wildcards," conversely, are low-probability, high-impact events that must be logical and explainable.

Van de Putte proposes the BRINKS nations (Brazil, Russia, Iraq, Nigeria, and Kazakhstan) and nuclear energy as the primary wildcards.
