This TED Talks Daily episode features Tom Chi discussing the paradox of humanity's love for nature versus its destruction of it. Chi challenges the conventional economic versus ecology model, asserting that the economy is a subset of ecology, as everything is either mined or grown. He highlights the unsustainable practices of mining and growing, advocating for ecological mining, closed-loop recycling, regenerative agriculture, and large-scale ecological repair using robotics and AI. Chi provides examples of companies involved in battery recycling, regenerative agriculture, and ecosystem restoration through drone planting and underwater robotics, emphasizing the potential for technology to support both a healthy planet and a healthy economy.
