Decades of commercial overfishing and bottom trawling have devastated Scotland's west coast waters. Patagonia Films' "The Custodians" follows four local Scots reclaiming their natural coastlines, restoring wildlife, creating sustainable industries, and demonstrating how to work with, not against, our ocean.

Committed to combating extinction, Patagonia leverages its business and resources for environmental action. Learn more about the film and its mission at patagonia.com/oceans.

The Global Village Construction Set (GVCS) has the ambitious goal of providing open-source blueprints for all tools and machines needed to build a village, at a fraction of commercial costs. Since

The Global Village Construction Set (GVCS) has the ambitious goal of providing open-source blueprints for all tools and machines needed to build a village, at a fraction of commercial costs. Since its 2007 inception, nearly one-third of these designs are complete, and the first houses have already been built using them.

This remarkable open-source, social production model is truly impressive. Learn more about its origins and growth directly from Founder Marcin Jakubowski in a live discussion.

TED Fellow Marcin Jakubowski is open-sourcing blueprints for 50 farm machines, enabling anyone to build their own tractor or harvester. This initiative, launched in April 2011, is the first step

TED Fellow Marcin Jakubowski is open-sourcing blueprints for 50 farm machines, enabling anyone to build their own tractor or harvester. This initiative, launched in April 2011, is the first step in a larger project to create an instruction set for an entire self-sustaining village, with an estimated starting cost of $10,000.
