October 21, 2025

Palm oil is in nearly every commodity you use — food, shampoo, makeup and more — but harvesting this essential material has contributed to the destruction of millions of hectares of forests globally. Sustainability leader Andika Putraditama shares how a groundbreaking collaboration between conservationists and global brands is turning this crisis on its head, unlocking a new model for forest preservation. Discover a vision for preserving the forests still standing and restoring the ones we’ve lost. (Recorded at TED Countdown: Overcoming Dilemmas in the Green Transition on October 30, 2024)

It’s incredible to see collaboration turn a crisis into a solution! Even in the middle of a global crisis, collaboration can turn destruction into regeneration 🙌

Willie Smits is the only solution for Indonesia’s Eco what i truly see. Others, including me – we simply still have “the ideas”. So the most efficient is to find a way to support his projects or better join them

This is such an important reminder 🌍 — fighting climate change isn’t just about cutting emissions from factories or cars. It’s about protecting the lungs of our planet — our forests, peatlands, and mangroves. These ecosystems store massive amounts of carbon, and every tree lost pushes us further from balance. Real change means responsible production, conscious consumption, and restoring what we’ve already destroyed. Nature doesn’t need us to save it — it needs us to stop destroying it.

The Invisible Threat Taking Away Our Brightest Minds | Drew McCartor | TED

Published

CYBER TECH TV

Lead poisoning robs the world’s kids of millions of IQ points a day and kills more people than wars, natural disasters and road accidents combined — yet we treat it as a problem we’ve already solved. Drew McCartor, who runs the nonprofit Pure Earth, has spent nearly two decades proving it doesn’t have to be this way. He presents their three-step fix that’s already working in places from Georgia to Ghana, and makes the case that we can finally beat a crisis hiding in plain sight. (This ambitious idea is part of The Audacious Project, TED’s initiative to inspire and fund global change.) (Recorded at TED2026 on April 14, 2026)
