Best of Week: TED presentations

I have really enjoyed listening to the different TED presentations. A lot of the topics the speeches are on are topics that I have never been acclimated to before or have payed attention to in life. One topic that has really interested me was the water conservation topic. I never think about the issue of water conservation, because we live right by a lake that has good water. But when listening to Marina talk about her family in Basnia, I learned that water is a resource that is in danger. Another TED presentation I really liked was the one about restaurant management and food sustainability. I was captured by the fact that we as human beings throw out so much food, and we don't even know it. This fact scares me because if we aren't aware of our waste, how can we recognize that we need to make a change to help eliminate it. After the TED presentations I take away a new understanding of an important issue.
