At the TED conference in

At the TED conference in Vancouver, Michael Murphy, co-founder and CEO of MASS Design Group, discussed architecture's transformative power. Drawing from his father's cancer journey, he highlighted how the built environment can impact community health and wellbeing. Murphy showcased humanitarian projects such as the Butaro Hospital in Rwanda and the GHESKIO Cholera Treatment Center in Haiti.

He posed a key question: "What more can architecture do?" This led his firm to consider how projects could create jobs, source regionally, and invest in community dignity. Murphy concluded by previewing MASS Design Group's collaboration with the Equal Justice Initiative on a national memorial to victims of lynching, asserting that "Great architecture can give us hope. Great architecture can heal."

Save the Waffle: Reducing Food Waste in Your Kitchen | Lesly Baesens | TEDxCherryCreek

The United Nations estimated that 30 percent of the food produced worldwide is wasted. That's like getting ready to eat three crispy, delicious Belgian waffles and tossing one straight in the trash.

The United Nations estimated that 30 percent of the food produced worldwide is wasted. That's like getting ready to eat three crispy, delicious Belgian waffles and tossing one straight in the trash. When we waste food, we are wasting all the resources and labor that went into producing, transporting, refrigerating, and packaging that food. In the landfill, food also produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Join Lesly Baesens, Food Waste Recovery Program Administrator for the City and County of Denver -and Belgian native- in saving the waffle. Lesly will teach you practical tips on reducing food waste at home, which will not only lower your carbon footprint but also save you time in the kitchen and money in your food budget. Lesly is deeply passionate about sustainability and believes even small individual changes can result in major collective impact. As the Food Waste Recovery Program Administrator for the City of Denver’s Department of Public Health & Environment, Lesly works with residents, city staff, food banks and pantries to ensure that food never ends up in landfills but is instead eaten, redistributed or composted. When the COVID pandemic hit, Lesly applied this ‘no food waste’ philosophy to tackling the immediate hunger needs of Denverites affected by the economic shut down by connecting emergency food providers with supplies and food to keep them operating in the face of increased demand. Lesly has made appearances on Denver ABC7 and on Denver 8 TV, and was featured on PBS Newshour “Waste Not, Want Not” series. She has also participated in the Green Team Academy podcast and was a speaker at Mayor Michael Hancock’s Sustainable Denver Summit and at ICLEI’s Resilient Cities Global Forum, Germany. 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

Chef Richard Jones reveals some of the complex issues surrounding food production and consumption and shares what the future of food could be. This exciting talk explores the intersection of food, flavor, agriculture, sustainability, and technology. Richard Jones’ journey as a chef has spanned the globe. His culinary adventure began in Adelaide, South Australia where the diversity of food and wine influenced his green thumbs and flavor palate. Richard moved to Nashville in 2000 and has worked under chefs Brian Uhl, Michael Tuohy, and Sean Brock. Developing a personal chef business and catering for companies large and small led to chefing for musical artists including Sugarland, Zac Brown Band, U2 and Keith Urban for a premiere touring company. In the summer of 2012, Richard joined Green Door Gourmet as Executive Chef. This unique position was created to educate consumers, develop recipes to help CSA members better utilize produce, and further the education and encouragement of community supported agriculture in the Middle Tennessee area. Richard is helping change the face of true farm to fork dining in real time with consumers and chefs across the Nashville foodscape. 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

Many global projects claiming climate change adaptation often raise human rights concerns and carry significant carbon and ecological footprints. A truly effective approach requires breaking with past assumptions, moving beyond systems that exacerbated the crisis, and addressing worsening scenarios and psychological impacts.

We must support those restoring our planet's natural balance, such as Dr. Stella Nyambura Mbau, who champions regenerative agroforestry. Dr. Lisa Schipper, who coined "maladaptation" to describe inadequate climate responses, highlights vulnerabilities and barriers in developing countries.

CCL Training: Legal Pathways For Deep Decarbonization

Join Michael Gerrard, Andrew Sabin Professor of Professional Practice, Columbia Law School, Faculty Director for the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law, and CCL Advisory Board member for a training

Join Michael Gerrard, Andrew Sabin Professor of Professional Practice, Columbia Law School, Faculty Director for the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law, and CCL Advisory Board member for a training on the Legal Pathways to Deep Decarbonization. His team's research provides a “legal playbook” for deep decarbonization in the United States, identifying well over 1,000 model laws based on two reports by the Deep Decarbonization Pathways Project (DDPP) that explain technical and policy pathways for reducing U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% from 1990 levels by 2050. Gerrard will also identify changes needed in federal, state, and local law to help achieve these reductions and highlight ways that CCL volunteers can be engaged in highlighting these model laws out to federal, state, and local legislators.

Hazardous Smoke Hits North America

Canadian wildfires are generating hazardous smoke, drifting across the Northeastern and Midwestern U.S. These tiny particles pose serious health risks to the lungs, heart, and brain. Climate change is exacerbating the situation, with unpredictable weather, ice storms, and drought fueling the fires, which have already released 17 million tons of CO2.

Experts Paul Beckwith and Patrick Hogan explain this worsening air quality as a critical symptom of the climate crisis. When smoke reached Washington D.C., legislators experienced firsthand the effects, reminiscent of the 1930s Dustbowl. The key question is whether this event will finally prompt significant action.
