Heroic by nature, cowardly by convenience: Marc Edwards at TEDxVirginiaTech

Marc Edwards is currently the Charles Lunsford Professor of Civil Engineering. In 2004, Time Magazine dubbed Dr. Edwards 'The Plumbing Professor' and listed him amongst the 4 most important 'Innovators' in water from around the world. In "Heroic by Nature, Cowardly by Convenience," Marc will discuss how we need to hold ourselves accountable for not only our actions, but our inactions. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
