This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. We live in two worlds- the biosphere and the technosphere. In this talk James Moody explores how we might make better use of the "stuff" in our lives. 

James is the founder and CEO of TuShare, a company with a vision of creating the world’s largest community of sharers to help all household items reach their full lifespan. He was previously Executive Director, Development at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation where he was responsible for CSIRO's client engagement, international development and futures unit.

James sits on the Advisory Council of the Australian Bureau of Statistics and the World Economic Forum’s Global Agenda Council on Intellectual Property. He is passionate about science communication and was a regular panelist on the ABC TV television program The New Inventors and the co-author of the best-selling book The Sixth Wave: How to Succeed in a Resource Limited World.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event 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)
