Sustainability in Theatre
RSA EVENTS videos, and audios, of the Royal Society of Arts' public talks. Politics, economics, sustainability are recurrent themes, as are the Enlightenment, education and community development. (ongoing)
TED Talks
talks on 'ideas worth spreading' filmed at TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) conferences. Talks relating to the environment tend to be listed under 'science' or 'global'. So far, we've found none that directly relate culture and ecology, but in the wide range of talks, there are overlaps of interests. (ongoing)
