As I'm leaving D.C. I find out that TED is hosting TEDxOilSpill, a conference featuring leading environmental speakers, thinkers and world leaders coming together to talk about the disaster on the Gulf of Mexico. The conference starts today and I'm so mad I'm missing the live version! Amen for the internet. Speakers will explaining environmental issues in depth to approximately 300 attendees. Planet walker John Francis of National Geographic, Philippe Cousteau of EarthEcho and Sylvia Earle of Mission Blue will be in attendance, as well as 21 other speakers. Speakers will be talking about clean-up efforts, energy alternatives, our economy and new technology that can help us build a a sustainable future. It's a long one, so I'll give you a summary later.
