GO AROUND AGAIN: THE STORY OF CIRCUMNAVIGATOR RICH WILSON – 22 minutes – Rick Groleau – Massachusetts – In 2008, Rich Wilson competed in an around-the-world, single-handed sailboat race. The only American in the race and the oldest, he placed ninth out of the 11 who finished. It was a tough experience — one characterized by injury, extreme fatigue, and a weird, 18-hour hallucination. In this one-on-one conversation, Rich recounts his experiences during this voyage and previous voyages and talks about his motivation, which is to create online learning adventures for middle-school students around the world. Rich’s boat, Great American IV, is managed and fitted out by Brian Harris and his team at Maine Yacht Center in Portland, Maine.

NATURE-RX, PART 3 – 2 minutes – Justin Bogardus – Colorado – Nature and humanity have a terrible marketing problem. Polar bears, hurricanes, and ice caps are not waking people up fast enough.

XBOUNDARY – 6 minutes – Ryan Peterson – Alaska – An open-pit mining boom is underway in northern British Columbia, Canada.

These concerns were heightened with the Aug 4, 2014 catastrophic tailings dam failure at nearby Mt. Polley Mine in B.C.’s Fraser River watershed.
