Jamais Cascio is helping us find ways to solve our world’s problems. At a TED conference in Monterey, California, Jamais Cascio, discusses his website, WorldChanging.com, the award-winning website dedicated to finding and calling attention to models, tools, and ideas for building a better future. As the co-founder of this website, he explains how problems such as the planet’s environment, global development, and international conflicts can be solved using tools and ideas that are outlined on his site.
The website has over 4,000 tools and ideas, such as energy efficient homes and vehicles, which we could easily put into practice today. According to Cascio, we can build a better world because we have all of the necessary things: tools, knowledge, and motive. We have the means and the capability to solve global problems, as well as good reason to do so.
While successful responses are possible, Cascio believes that one of the most important steps is to make the invisible visible. If people are able to see and understand the impact of their actions, it will lead to change. If we can easily see what impacts (whether positive or negative) we are making on the world, maybe it will be easier for us to solve our current environmental problems.
