環境永續唯有聆聽｜The way to sustainability: listen to each other | John Francis & Daniel Kinzer | TEDxTaipei

Описание: John Francis有17年選擇性地保持沉默，而在沉默中他徒步橫跨了美國和南美洲，想藉由這種方式傳遞環保訊息。而他從這趟旅程中深深體會到，人是自然的一部分，在打破沉默後他要為自然發聲。而Daniel Kinzer在TED的演講上聽到了John的故事，兩人成為朋友後將Planetwalk的計劃推廣到亞洲。對兩人來說能夠永續對待環境的唯一方式就是真正聆聽彼此，友善地對待身邊的人並彼此合作。他們也鼓勵大家邀請和自己持不同意見的人，一起分享一起走，為臺灣、為彼此、也為了環境教育而走。
Traveling through the US and South America in self-imposed silence for 17 years, John Francis is using a special way to communicate his ideals for environmental protection. In silence, hIs deepest reflection is that human is a part of nature. On breaking his silence, he decided to be a voice of nature. After hearing Francis' TED story, Daniel Kinzer became friends and together, they are extending their Planetwalk plan to Asia. For the two of them, the only way to environmental sustainability is to really listen to each other, care for those next to you and to work together. They are also inviting everyone to walk with people who are vastly different, for sharing, for each other and for the enviornment.
