Paul MacCready was an original EcoGeek. He created the first human-powered airplane, and sprearheaded the first human-powered flight across the English Channel. The story of his work on ultra-efficient flight and his interest in the environment are very inspiring. His recent death has prompted the people at TED to release a talk he gave at their conference in 2003. If you've got a spare 20 minutes, there's no better way to spend them.

The Paul McCready podcast is very informative and entertaining. He was an intriguing gentlemen. I wish I had known of him and was able to follow his research sooner. Also, through this video, thanks for the introduction to Ted.com. It is a very cool website covering many interesting topics. Many thanks.

Science, technology gadgets and...baby seals. We're in a bit of an eco-mess, but we've got the brains to lick any problem. And that's why EcoGeek.org publishes up to ten stories daily about innovations that are saving the planet.
And if that sounds interesting to you, then congratulations, you're an EcoGeek.
