TED talks are my absolute favorite form of edutainment, so when I was invited to speak at a Los Angeles Fred Talk in December, I was one happy Brazilian!

FRED is a TED with Friends. And good food. And sometimes some dogs that you can pet.

Since the event took place on 12.12.12, an important date for those following the Mayan Calendar events, I spoke about “Music for the End Days of the Mayan Calendar.” In a room full of 100+ new Friends, I offered everyone a chance to support the “end days” of greed, and crowdfund the renewal of a rainforest. Passing a hat, we raised enough to plant 20 trees that night.
