Uploaded 26-02-15

Todd Ramsey answers that question by unravelling the law of conservation of mass.
Lesson by Todd Ramsey, animation by Vegso/Banyai.

As soon as Pharaoh Khufu ascended the throne circa 2575 BCE, work on his eternal resting place began. The structure’s architect, Hemiunu, determined he would need 20 years to finish the royal tomb. But what he could not predict was that this monument would remain the world’s tallest manmade structure for over 3,800 years. Soraya Field Fiorio digs into the construction of the Great Pyramid.

Explore the model known as doughnut economics, which aims to meet the needs of people without overshooting Earth's ecological limits.
--
Can we call any economy “healthy” in the face of dwindling resources and growing inequality? What if we cut off our addiction to endless growth, and used a new compass for modern prosperity? One such compass is known as “doughnut economics,” which aims to meet the needs of people without overshooting Earth's ecological limits. Explore how this model reframes our economic systems.
This video is based on interview excerpts from the TED Interview podcast. The episode is called “Kate Raworth argues that rethinking economics can save our planet”
