This is fantastic!! I can't believe that this week is the first time I'm viewing this. I plan to use this with my English students who will have an action research project soon! I LOVE your platform, that sailing is what brought you closer to this, and that you are "balls to the walls" giving this your all. Thank you. It's definitely both ambitious and inspiring! I love your correlations to your great-grandfather's life. "24 cars in the world" at the time he was (was it born?) around is really amazing. Estimating that he passed in the mid-90's, and wow what a contrast, right? Thank you again!

very good allegory – Earth is our ship and we only have what's on it. when we spend it (or waste it, more likely) – there is no more. and when we waste the stuff that is crucial for our survival – we will die. we've known it for a very long time now and still we did nothing. of lately we are trying to make some "cosmetic" improvements, but that won't save us, or even postpone our demise.
what she proposes will never work. for one main reason – human greed! we are so stupid that we think having more is the way to security. the "great" industrial revolution and all that followed were just tools that enabled us to spend and destroy more. but the willingness to do it was always there. technology advanced and we, the humans who invented it – we stayed the same.
we already have circular economy – it's called capitalism. this innate greed is what it is based on – make more, sell more, throw it away, buy some more. it gives us false sense of security and wellbeing. even though we know we are destroying the very essence of our survival we still do it. primal instinct is stronger than reason. we will not change because we don't want to!
like all things humanity will come to an end. it's the NATURAL way of all things.

wikipedia says this: "She saved her school dinner money for three years to buy her first boat" 🙂

I love the way you keep saying "we" and not "me"!

always interests me to read the comments, how people dont talk about the presenter not the topic, but talk about themselves

You got big balls sailing the southern ocean, I'm Aussie and I sail but never would I go down there, it's an achievement that's not on my list, Bass Straight and the Tasman is enough for me. Congratulations though, what a remarkable feat.

Nothing like going around in "circles"! Suggest Dame Ellen stick to sailing great circles instead! Sailing part of talk was good though.

Trying to apply anecdotal experience to "climate change" is laughable. This is pure propaganda. She's either completely inept and detached from reality or she's a liar. Either way she is pushing control and the destruction of freedom and independence. I wonder what she was promised and paid to say these things? Ted talks are straight garbage for the most part. Case in point
