Housing is a human right, or so says the International Declaration of Human Rights. But could we organize our economies with that in mind? Across the country, communities have land and properties and people who need homes. What’s stopping us bringing them together in a way that increases community wealth and wellbeing for everyone? That’s the question we explore in this episode of our special series on community wealth building, produced in collaboration with the radio and tv show, Laura Flanders & Friends. Featuring Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, Writer; Saoirse Gowan, Policy Associate with the Democracy Collaborative; Noni D. Session, Co-Founder and Executive Director of the East Bay Permanent Real Estate Cooperative. This episode is part 1 of a 4-part series exploring how communities are working to transform their local economies by harnessing their assets, anchoring capital and resources locally to directly invest in that place and its people – from land to money and finance.

Give yourself the gift of knowledge — subscribe to Big Think Edge: http://bit.ly/bigthinkedge Mother Nature and the laws of physics have a death warrant out for humanity, says Michio Kaku. Can we escape it? - The great science fiction writer Isaac Asimov put a terrifying question on humanity's radar: Where will we be 50,000 years from now? - Humanity is close to exhausting the known laws of physics; it's the unknown – the unified theory of everything – that could dominate our destiny in the coming millennia. And that destiny is almost certainly tied to space travel. Why? - "Extinction is the norm," says Michio Kaku, 99.99% of all species on Earth eventually go extinct. "Mother Nature and the laws of physics have a death warrant for humanity," says Kaku. "[U]ltimately our destiny will be in outer space." Dr. Michio Kaku is the co-founder of string field theory, and is one of the most widely recognized scientists in the world today. He has written 4 New York Times Best Sellers, is the science correspondent for CBS This Morning and has hosted numerous science specials for BBC-TV, the Discovery/Science Channel. His radio show broadcasts to 100 radio stations every week. Dr. Kaku holds the Henry Semat Chair and Professorship in theoretical physics at the City College of New York (CUNY), where he has taught for over 25 years. He has also been a visiting professor at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, as well as New York University (NYU).

Kris Gasteratos, Founder of CAS and author of 90 Reasons, sits down with Suzette Bishop at Google NY to discuss lab-grown meat, cellular agriculture, and Project CMF. Short for Cell-based Meat Facility, Project CMF is an ongoing design project by CAS, the Cellular Agriculture Society, conceptualizing what meat production may look like in New York by 2040, where animal cells are farmed instead of animals. Partner scientists of CAS, over a dozen of the leading cell-based meat scientists in the world, were consulted for Project CMF towards its goal in visualizing an ambitious, but realistic depiction of a meat production facility in 20 years. Project CMF's Producer is CAS, the Cellular Agriculture Society, Lead Concept Designer, Kris Gasteratos, Lead Visual Designer, Mihai Iacubovschi, Logo & Animation by Nisaul Muthoharoh and Henry Mbwille.
