Edward Burtynsky photographs the landscape of oil

Check out this 4 minute TED talk - "In stunning large-format photographs, Edward Burtynsky follows the path of oil through modern society, from wellhead to pipeline to car engine -- and then beyond to the projected peak-oil endgame."

It's a reminder that we can all do our part to make a difference within our own little spheres of influence.

From the talk:

"I feel that all of us need to take the task of using our talents, our ways of thinking, to begin to deal with what I think is probably one of the most challenging issues of our time: how to deal with our energy crisis. And I would like to say on the other side, 30 or 40 years from now, the children that I have, I can look at them and say we did everything we possibly, humanly could to begin to mitigate what I feel is one of the most important and critical moments in our time."
