Dec 19 2011: My wish is that the TED Prize promote the message of community. You are a member of a community, realize it, embrace it, and act like it. I would like for the prize to educate the members of the City 1.0 on how their decisions, actions, and involvement (or lack thereof), affect their city.
If members of a community truly believe, "We're all in this together", the natural progression is one that is sustainable ecologically, financially, and socially.
Without going into the details in this post, I feel we already have the knowledge and technology to move in this direction, but lack the will at a scale that makes it happen.
TEDCred score: 0.00 TEDCred reflects your contribution to the TED community.
