This week’s “TED Radio Hour” on National Public Radio is called “Paradise Lost–and Found,” and, as the title suggests, it’s about the things in our lives that make us happy.
Below is a talk given by Ramón Méndez Galain who explains how his homeland, Uruguay, runs on 98% renewable energy. What makes this relevant to the theme is his discourse on how happy he is to be a part of a movement that is preventing the ruination of our planet’s capacity to support life. It’s truly touching.
Until recently, I would have moose, maple syrup, and frozen tundra.
Now I would say: decency, honesty, and class.
I’m ready to live in a country with zero hateful morons, if that counts.
As shown here, people have an infinite variety of ways to express their loathing of Trump.
