 Ideas change everything

 

 

TED is a non-profit that believes powerful ideas, powerfully presented, move us: to feel something, to think differently, to take action.

TED is devoted to curiosity, reason, wonder and the pursuit of knowledge - without an agenda. We welcome all who seek a deeper understanding of the world and connection with others, and we invite everyone to engage with ideas and activate them in your community.

 17 Goals to Transform Our World

The Sustainable Development Goals are a call for action by all countries – poor, rich and middle-income – to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. They recognize that ending poverty must go hand-in-hand with strategies that build economic growth and address a range of social needs including education, health, social protection, and job opportunities, while tackling climate change and environmental protection.

Sciencing is where inquiring minds come to learn about the natural world in all its complexity. We break down complicated topics across the broad disciplines of science, engineering, and mathematics to answer questions as big as the 11-dimensional multiverse and as small as a charm-flavored quark.

Launched in 2006 and acquired by Static Media in 2024, Sciencing applies a unique editorial lens to trending popular science stories, science history, and enduring puzzles from the fields of engineering and mathematics. Our articles illuminate topics at the razor's edge of contemporary research and others as old as the human mind itself. While there is no special expertise or technical acumen needed to engage with our content, we consult with experts and conduct in-depth research to ensure the accuracy of claims made in our articles.

Social Creatures merges science and community wisdom to advance social health for all, creating programs, sharing knowledge, and shaping systems so that good social health is possible for everyone, especially those facing the greatest barriers to social connection.

If we design and implement evidence-based programs, tools, and systems-change strategies that foster equitable social connection—grounded in lived experience and rigorous science—then individuals will experience stronger social health, which in turn will support mental and physical health, strengthen communities, and advance equity in health and well-being.

We believe that creating a kinder world takes all of us, so we’re committed to empowering anyone, anywhere in the world, to choose kindness often and effectively. We package the findings using insights from our research to create programs, toolkits, sharable content, and other materials to allow anyone to activate kindness where they live and work. We all have the capacity to choose kindness – we want to make it an easy choice.

Overconsumption and a throwaway culture have led to a global waste crisis. While even complex trash is technically recyclable, most materials are not profitable to recycle. As a result, waste piles up in landfills and pollutes our planet while virgin materials are extracted from the earth to create new products.

At TerraCycle, our mission is Eliminating the Idea of Waste®. Businesses, government entities, and people like you work with us globally to keep trash out of landfills or from incineration. Through collaboration and innovation, we've developed the world's first solutions in everything from recycling to reuse. Learn more about how TerraCycle is working to eliminate the idea of waste.

The TerraCycle Foundation's mission is to reduce the flow of plastic waste from  rivers and canals before it can reach the ocean. In close partnership with local communities, we design world-class river waste prevention, collection and recycling solutions in regions of the world suffering from heavily polluted waterways.
