Lithium Nevada Corporation plans a 28-square-mile lithium mine in Thacker Pass, Nevada. This project faces significant opposition from environmentalists, local ranchers, farmers, and several Native American tribes. Concerns center on the mine's potential harm to wildlife, water resources, pollution, and the destruction of sacred sites, highlighting the vast scale of the proposed operation.

Nevada is home to some of the last wild places. Help protect these lands for future generations by visiting ProtectThackerPass.org.

Paul Slovic examines "psychic numbing," our tendency to ignore mass tragedies despite valuing individual lives. He explains that as numbers grow, we become desensitized, failing to act against catastrophic losses from poverty, disease, climate disasters, and violence. Understanding this cognitive bias is crucial for motivating effective responses.

Dr. Slovic, a professor of psychology at the University of Oregon and President of Decision Research (which he co-founded), is a leading expert in risk perception. His extensive work, including research on global threats, has earned him numerous accolades, such as election to the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Supermarkets, controlled by a few retailers, offer global food at low prices but contribute to consumer disconnection, overconsumption, and resource waste. This highlights critical issues in our food systems.

Dr. Emma Campbell, a Research Fellow at Queen's University Belfast, focuses on sustainable relationships between people, food, and place. She uses design and systems-thinking to address these complex problems.

Currently, Emma works on the Innovate UK-funded Ideal Home project with Moy Park. This initiative aims to redesign poultry infrastructure to boost productivity, enhance animal welfare, and achieve net-zero emissions by 2040. Her talk was given at a TEDx event.

Viral Shah, an Indian computer scientist and co-founder/CEO of Julia Computing, highlights how computation, particularly his Julia Language, can solve major climate change issues. Julia, a high-impact language, defies the notion that productivity and performance are mutually exclusive in programming. He encourages students to use computation for social impact and global problem-solving.

Shah's contributions extend to the Aadhaar Project and co-authoring "Rebooting India." His work on the Julia Language earned him the 2019 J. H. Wilkinson Prize, and he received the 2013 SETWG award for co-creating Circuitscape. This talk was presented at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
