Whats up with TED releasing 5 talks in the span of 30 seconds?

[@minnmawia8954]

Its TedX season. They're going on all over the place around this time of year.

[@francesca.pellegrino]

Hasn't PLA been around for a while now?

[@guybolt]

That's not what net present means

[@papasokratis]

so he needed 20 mins to say that green products must compete in price to succeed? :D

[@notheotherklaus]

Has TED become a place for commercials, business people who have no idea about science but tell is what is best for humanity, which happens to be what they are selling? This is embarrassing.

[@falconnk1666]

We can also talk about the fact, that he is working for Total. One of the biggest oil company

[@earthinanest5288]

Thumbs up. Let’s make a sustainable change!

Oh give us a break from this commercial. PLA can't even be recycled and is very difficult to compost so often it still ends up in landfills. Due to the issues that come with PLA, it can be argued that it really is no different to other plastics out there. Also, misleading TEDx title. This is just 20 minutes long commercial rant
