I'm Elise Hugh, it's TED Talks Daily. Here's something really promising. We might be the first generation of humans to be truly sustainable.

Environmental data scientist Hannah Ritchie says it's in the numbers in her TED 2023 talk she unpacks how the conventional notion of sustainability can be misleading and the opportunities for the environment that she sees in the data.

Stick around after her talk where Hannah will talk with me to expand on some of her big ideas.

After the break. Side Door is a podcast from the Smithsonian that will sneak you behind the scenes of the nation's

largest museum and research complex.

You'll discover stories of history, science, art, and culture

that aren't available on any display case. You'll hear about what it's like to run a

marathon in space, the Smithsonian's decades-long feud with the Wright brothers and why Leeches are actually the

coolest thing ever. You can listen to Side Door wherever you get your podcasts. Just search for Side Door,

all one word, or find it online at SI.

More than half, said the think humanity is doomed.
