TED-Ed | Lessons Worth Sharing

http://ed.ted.com/ Long, fancy words designed to show off your intelligence and vocabulary are all very well, but they aren't always the best words.
The focus of the project will be the creation of preconditions for a strong European OCW-framework. A stronger framework will also mean closer cooperation between European institutes, which may result in mutual use of material and even joint degrees.

This program is definitely worth the money.
1. Create your carbon reduction team. Identify and connect with a committed, passionate, and multifaceted team who will make it happen.
