This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. «We’re scared of green buildings – we want to do the right thing and make our lives green, but weve lost our connection with Nature,» says green building expert Lindsey Kindrat. «We design conventional buildings to keep Nature out; but green buildings let Nature IN. They reconnect us with our place in the environment, and let us control our living and working spaces.” So why hasnt building green become mainstream? Kindrat explores the idea that what holds us back from building green is neither expense nor ignorance, but a deeper fear of our disconnect with the natural world around us.

Lindsey Kindrat is a born naturalist, explorer and small town girl at heart, with roots in Alberta oil country and a vast appreciation for the potential of her beloved planet. Combining her passion for ecology and physics into sustainable building planning, design and construction for government and public sector projects, Lindsey quickly earned a place among Alberta’s top green building professionals. She has twice been awarded a Directorship with the Alberta Chapter, Canada Green Building Council, where she seeks to bring green building education into the mainstream for everyone to share, understand and enjoy.

Humans are all united by a force greater than joy, sorrow, and love… procrastination. Contrary to the humorous picture our popular culture paints, avoidance of work is a serious issue. Surveys suggest that 85-95% of students encounter problems directly related to procrastination. As a teenager, all-too-familiar with this torrid cycle of stress, anxiety, and depression, Archana Murthy presents an insightful cure to one of society’s greatest ills. Through personal reflection, Archana suggests that the cure to procrastination is a springboard for a greater journey that is better navigated with others.

Archana Murthy is a student of Marcus High School but also of life. She learns Indian classical music and dance but loves any and all art. She believes that art, science, and spirituality are often interchangeable. This is her first TEDx talk.

Когда вы в последний раз обращали внимание на свои сны?

Задумывались ли вы, почему увидев плохой сон, мы целый день пребываем в подавленном настроении, с трудом избавляемся от неприятных ощущений. А порой, находясь под впечатлением от увиденного, даже совершаем импульсивные действия.
Маргарита Ли – практикующий психолог, исследователь сновидений рассказывает о том, что сон – это не просто «продукт» дневных впечатлений. Он содержит ценное послание для каждого из нас.
И в наших силах научиться расшифровывать эти послания и применять их с пользой для своей жизни. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Случалось ли вам день за днем просыпаться в отвратительном настроении?
⠀
Бывало ли так, что вы чувствовали себя совершенно несчастным уже с утра, хотя объективно у вас все прекрасно — семья, карьера, дети?
⠀
Представьте себе, иногда этого недостаточно, чтобы быть счастливым.
Чего же тогда не хватает?
⠀
Антонина Стерина рассказывает в своем выступлении о том, чего именно не хватало ей: “И если вы, как и я когда-то, просыпаетесь несчастным, возможно, в вашем сердце стучит пока еще не сбывшаяся и очень важная мечта. Я расскажу о том, что осуществлять ее никогда не поздно!”
