The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world.

LivingWell.tv #10 - Yann Arthus-Bertrand
<a href="http://www.LivingWell.tv/Media/YannArthus-Bertrand_2009-5.mp4"><img src="http://www.LivingWell.tv/Podcast/Media/TEDTalks%20%3A%20Yann%20Arthus-Bertrand%20%282009%29%20video-1_1.jpg" style="float:left; padding-right:10px; padding-bottom:10px; width:216px; height:120px;"/></a>Yann Arthus-Bertrand is perhaps the best known aerial photographer on the planet. He has sold more than 3 million copies worldwide of his seminal photo essay Earth From Above, a decade-spanning attempt to photograph all the vistas of the planet from the sky, whether by helicopter, hot air balloon, or anything else that flies.<br/><br/>Arthus-Bertrand seeks to uncover the story behind the landscape, not just create a pretty picture. Indeed, his subjects are not always photogenic -- his prints show poverty and strife as well as green tranquility; and everywhere in his work is the encroaching hand of humanity and its enterprise. He keeps close track of the coordinates of his locations, so other photographers may track their progress over time.<br/><br/>His newest project takes a different view -- focusing more closely on the people who live on this planet. Called 6 Billion Others, the project was a centerpiece of Pangea Day 2008.<br/><br/>With Luc Besson, he is working on the feature-length documentary Boomerang, to be shot in 60 countries.<br/><br/>"Yann Arthus-Bertrand is an aesthete with the soul of a moralist. He uses the beauty of the world to beguile you into a photograph in which a larger lesson awaits. His lesson is about the planet in jeopardy."<br/>Richard Lacayo, Time<br/><br/>His latest project HOME an aerial view of our planet, our home and the impact that we are having on it. Filmed in 50 countries, a survey of the planet and solutions for a sustainable world.

Part blog and part eco-activist street team, WorldChanging.com serves as a clearinghouse of information and inspiration dedicated to increasing sustainability and livability into the 21st century, emphasizing solutions over problems.<br/><br/>Steffen was an environmental journalist in Seattle when he realized that the tools and methods for improving society's ecological profile by and large already exist -- they just need better PR. Steffen and friend Jamais Cascio co-founded <a href="http://www.WorldChanging.com/">WorldChanging.com</a> to provide that PR, linking to and posting stories by dozens of contributors around the world on everything from consumer activism and sustainable farming to alternative energy and green building projects, to technology, globalization, and human rights. World Changing, a sprawling 600-page collection of content from the website combined with new material, was published in 2006 to wide acclaim.<br/><br/> "His vision of the future isn't granola and porridge. It's what he calls 'bright green:' creating and buying products and systems that are smart, sexy, sleek, and sustainable."<br/> - Living on Earth

She is also a photographer, a curator, and the director / founder of the “The Israeli Forum for Ecological Art,” and holds an M.A. degree in Art and Environmental Policy. Among her projects, the books “Faces and Facets Portrait of a Woman” and “Concrete Creek 1999-2002” conduct a reclamation process of a stream as an artwork. Her work has been included in more than sixty exhibitions in museums and galleries internationally: in Africa, Japan, Italy, Korea, China, the United States and more. She is a lecturer and a consultant for the development of creative environmental leadership. <br/><br/>Forest Tunes - The Library 1995 - 2008. After a thirteen year journey to record some of the imprint of humankind on the environment with leaves, stories, and photographs, the project is drawing to a close: 167 up-cycled boxes containing organic material from nineteen countries create the “black box.” She brought this exhibit to Philadelphia where she was part of <a href="http://www.PhilaSculptors.org/globalwarming">Global Warming at the Icebox</a> held in the Crane Arts building in the fall of 2008.<br/><br/><a href="http://www.Eco-Art.co.il/">http://www.Eco-Art.co.il</a>

LivingWell.tv #7 - Bonnie Bassler
<a href="http://www.LivingWell.tv/Media/BonnieBassler_2009-1.mp4"><img src="http://www.LivingWell.tv/Podcast/Media/BonnieBassler_2009_1.jpg" style="float:left; padding-right:10px; padding-bottom:10px; width:216px; height:120px;"/></a>Bonnie Bassler studies how bacteria can communicate with one another, through chemical signals, to act as a unit. Her work could pave the way for new, more potent medicine. In 2002, bearing her microscope on a microbe that lives in the gut of fish, Bonnie Bassler uncovered an elusive molecule called AI-2. Doing so, she vindicated the long-ridiculed idea that bacteria communicate -- through a process called quorum sensing. (Bassler calls the signals "bacterial Esperanto," and they’re the secret behind some fascinating behavior.)<br/><br/>The discovery shows how cell populations use chemical powwows to stage attacks, evade immune systems and forge slimy defenses called biofilms. For that, she's won a MacArthur "genius" grant -- and is giving new hope to frustrated pharmacos seeking new weapons against drug-resistant superbugs.<br/><br/>Bassler teaches molecular biology at Princeton, where she continues her years-long study of V. harveyi, one such social microbe that is mainly responsible for glow-in-the-dark sushi. She also teaches aerobics at the YMCA.<br/><br/>"She's really the one who's shown that this is something that all these bacteria are doing all the time. And if we want to understand them, we have to understand quorum sensing."<br/>Ned Wingreen, Princeton, on Nova ScienceNOW<br/><br/>We’re proud to present this show in cooperation with <a href="http://www.ted.com/">TED</a>.
