Oceanographer John Delaney is leading a team to construct an underwater network of high-definition cameras and sensors. This project aims to transform our oceans into a global interactive lab, generating an abundance of data about the world below.

Delaney, a Professor of Oceanography at the University of Washington, is also Principal Investigator and Director of the Regional Scale Nodes Program, holding the Jerome M. Paros Endowed Chair in Sensor Networks. His innovative work is featured on TED.com.

John Fullerton of the Capital Institute transitioned from Wall Street to sustainability advocacy. Influenced by Herman Daly's book, For the Common Good, he highlights the unsustainable practice of externalizing social and environmental costs and risks, citing the BP oil spill as a prime example.

Fullerton discussed these critical issues in an October 7, 2010 interview with Ruth Ann Barrett of EarthSayers.tv.

John Fullerton, founder of Capital Institute, proposes "Capitalism 2.0," a regenerative economy modeled on natural laws to foster equality. He argues the modern economy is an unsustainable hierarchy, unlike healthy living systems. Fullerton warns that without this shift, increasing inequality could lead to civil strife.

As an architect of Regenerative Capitalism, Fullerton advocates for financial incentives to create a self-sustaining system. He points to nature's sustainable hierarchies—like a lion's balanced behavior or the branching patterns of trees and rivers—as blueprints for a more just and resilient economic future.

Human-designed products often involve unsustainable processes, creating materials incompatible with living systems. John Warner, a co-founder of green chemistry, offers a solution: by embracing nature's "materials metabolism," we can design and build products that are truly in harmony with the environment.

Dr. Warner's extensive career includes over 300 patents and 100 publications. He co-founded the Warner Babcock Institute for Green Chemistry and Beyond Benign, a non-profit dedicated to green chemistry education. An award-winning researcher and advisor, he has significantly advanced sustainable design.
