The surprising thing I learned sailing solo around the world | Dame Ellen MacArthur
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июн 2015
- What do you learn when you sail around the world on your own? When solo sailor Ellen MacArthur circled the globe - carrying everything she needed with her - she came back with new insight into the way the world works, as a place of interlocking cycles and finite resources, where the decisions we make today affect what's left for tomorrow. She proposes a bold new way to see the world's economic systems: not as linear, but as circular, where everything comes around.

My own solo circumnavigation took place on a 33' sailboat in the high latitudes both north and south. I will never forget the five months I spent in the Southern Ocean with just me and the albatross (I had no long range communication gear). I saw no other boats, ships or aircraft during that time. Actually 3 months S. Africa to Tonga and 2 months rounding Cape Horn from San Diego to the Falklands. This was truly the experience of a lifetime for me.
That's inspirational because I just bought a 33 ft and I want to circumnavigate!
Did you film any of it? That would be cool to see
Not sure that exchanging an ownership economy to a renter one is really a good answer. Renteers tend to price gouge once they have the upper hand.
Meeting the very real challenges of this still young century is going to require a likely up ending of many things that are now taken for granted.
Very, very much of our way of life is just out and out waste. Throw away clothes, planned obsolete products, and urban automobiles are my favorite examples.
I see carbon use rationing on the near horizon (with ration points, which everyone is allotted, but can be resold at a much higher price). Such would all but doom wasteful products and services by making them price non-compettitive.
Ellen’s testimony is a powerful invitation for all of us to rethink our business models and to establish a sustainable relationship with our planet.
A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor, indeed. Very inspiring

Dame Ellen MacArthur - Superb!
This is fantastic!! I can't believe that this week is the first time I'm viewing this. I plan to use this with my English students who will have an action research project soon! I LOVE your platform, that sailing is what brought you closer to this, and that you are "balls to the walls" giving this your all. Thank you. It's definitely both ambitious and inspiring! I love your correlations to your great-grandfather's life. "24 cars in the world" at the time he was (was it born?) around is really amazing. Estimating that he passed in the mid-90's, and wow what a contrast, right? Thank you again!
This talk and the idea she had arrived to is exactly what the Zeitgeist Movement are working towards. She call it Circular Economy, we call it Global Resource Based Managment System
wow, her passion

"at 17 I was told I wasn't clever enough to be a vet". I know the feels bro..i know the feels.
Amazing words by an amazing human!! Congratulations Ellen!!! You are an inspiration!!!
Sailng part of the story was absolutly amaizing.
The second story was even better. She's a genius
Shame she ventured into what economists view as “flat earth theory”.
The most inspirational person on this planet today, and for many reasons. A donc.
I feel the same way. So glad we're talking about this
Always wondered what a linear economy was but the picture at 11:53 cleared it up.
When I pressed the time stamp and it was an ad lol
Great talk! I wasn't expecting it to take the turn it did. Very inspiring. Great ideas effectively communicated.
Stumbled upon this video 'cause I just came from an island trip and wanted to learn about sailing. Then I was pleasantly surprised. 💚
Sehr tiefgründig, circular economy, beeindruckende Frau!
Passionate and driven. Very inspiring
When I was a schoolboy I saw a documentary about your circumnavigation of the South Pole, it wasn't too dramatic, everything was iced over, the mast threatened to break, the onboard cam filmed everything. After 50 years, I still take my hat off to you because of this grandiose achievement, I have never forgotten that....
Lovely to have you as spokesperson/Ambassador we are blessed 💕 👁⛵🍀🌻🐬🦋
Just reading her autobiography. excellent.
the sailing part of the history was amazing
Your great Grandfather will be very very proud of you mam. Full respect.
To see a child having a dream and then grow up to achieve it, the parents must feel extremely proud.
THIS is the kind of message we NEED to hear.

Botella pet llenas de esperanzas
Si en vez de hacer montones de basuras y dejarlas en campo abierto al aire libre , donde hay contaminación cruzada y contaminación de olores y contaminación al aire , podríamos empezar por separar todas las bolsas plásticas de todo tipo y meterlas en una botella , dos , tres y cuatro botellas , llenarlas y completar toneladas , disponer en un sitio adecuado y luego entregarlas a empresas encargadas del proceso de trituración , a cambio esas empresas nos podrían ayudar a ayudar ,
Se baja el volumen de la contaminación
Se estaría cumpliendo con el plan nacional de desarrollo
Se estaría beneficiando muchas personas económicamente y se estaría mejorando cada vez más la imagen de la institucion
Podríamos llevar este proyecto a las escuelas y que los niños nos entregarán estás botellas llenas de esperanzas .
One of the very few inspiring woman nowdays
You got big balls sailing the southern ocean, I'm Aussie and I sail but never would I go down there, it's an achievement that's not on my list, Bass Straight and the Tasman is enough for me. Congratulations though, what a remarkable feat.
She's a beautiful speaker and with unique experiences. 😊
so many plans in one speech, each requires vast change in every field in order to make possible
I read you book a few years ago and today, in 2023 I decided to search tube to watch you sail; instead I landed here, I am an ex Navy Veteran and understand the power of our oceans, having served on something bigger than your craft,(R09) "Ark royal"Lady your are insperational. I would follow you to the ends of the Earth. Thank you. for opening our eyes a little bit wider; you presented yourself immaculately BRAVO; BZ Pip Pip!!
At the time, when she first raced around the world, I resented the big budget of her campaign and the media fawning over her -there were a dozen other boats being ignored and she is not the first woman contestant. Now hearing her speak I understand the strength of her campaign. Her clear unwavering certainty -this is what must be done so this is what I will do -is so refreshing in contrast to the blame transfer professionals on social media today -the omnipotent "victims" who expect to be given a new universe to compensate for their mistreatment.
Sailing is a fantastic teaching opportunity for youth in general and girls in particular if they plan to pursue leadership or STEM opportunities.
In this talk I think that Ellen sounds a little crazy implying that we will run out of materials, but what she is talking about is well known at major corporations as "full product life management". It is something they all weigh against market conditions and foreign competition that is often subsidized.
Thank you for that !
Incredible woman.
Big kudos to a Curageous, and enlighted Mind!
Impressive, congrats Ellen.
One world, PASSION!
great speak!
Heyyy I love the channel,I just sold everything I owned to buy a sailboat to start sailing around the world :) thanks for the inspiration,just made my first RUclips video hahaha it’s actually doing pretty good
Quite amazing!
Inspirational Ellen, what a shame there are so many Plebs making useless comments below.
YOU LIVED GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
wow this is amazing
Finally, thanks to the internet I am able to watch MacArtur talk about her great achievents. Man this woman..There is nothing she can't do, nothing she can't overcome she and Laura Dekker are pioneers and we wont see their likes born again, I am telling you!
this women is amazing.
Love this
I was trying to think of who she reminded me of, then it dawned on me. If Clark Kent had a sister......!
Johnny Jawbone Ursa from Superman II
Ursa, superman II
Johnny Jawbone Yeah Superman's big sister.
Ellen is REAL.. Not Fictional Charachters
Brilliant !
"European Space Station"? missed that one :) . Amazing story!
A strong, intelligent, driven, accomplished, and independent woman tells her amazing story and not a single mention of feminism.
*That's more like it TED.*
rhoyt15 Why, are you searching for soul mates?
Titus Orelius She doesn't need to mention it. She is feminism in action.
Jo Stimpson
All I see is powerful human being. I don't see feminism at all.
Titus Orelius She's a powerful human whose success has remained unfettered by her gender, race, sexuality, etc. That is feminism by definition.
Jo Stimpson
Nope Modern feminism would seek to cripple her and have her believe she is nothing but a victim that is surrounded by male rapists and abusers. If this woman came out today and said "I AM NOT A FEMINIST"
Feminists everywhere would ruthlessly attack and harass her for daring to utter those words. Daring to stand on her own without bowing to the Feminist Cult.
It has happened to successful women time and time again. Modern Western feminism has devolved into a Hate Movement.
Ellen, Look into Central Bank based monetary systems and how they work, what is needed for them to work and who controls how they work. Explains the madness and inequality of this world we all live in.
Amazing talk, very moving.
greate talk !
hey ellen.. well done. i had similar experiences across the world which caused me to study and do alot of work in these fields..
well done.
but now that im skint and a bit bust i think ill go into oil and gas or avaition. natural capilisism ect... well its happaning throughout industry and has been for quite a while. giving these talks in china, india and elsewhere would be my first pointer for you....
Adventurist Dame Ellen MacArthur gives an inspiring talk about her solo sailing around the globe. She also stresses the importance of circular economy where everything is recycled and minimized the wastage. This is an amazing and need-of-the-hour talk.
Absolutely profound and amazing work. Will have to look more in depth
That's what I'm standing for!
Great speech
Great manifestation!
I'm highly appreciate for making clean the mission of Young Generation!
My mission.
Our mission.

always interests me to read the comments, how people dont talk about the presenter not the topic, but talk about themselves
Being now on my third GRP boat and considering how much GRP there is in all the marinas around the world I find myself wondering if GRP can be recycled in any way
I love the way you keep saying "we" and not "me"!
such an amazing lady so so strong and brave
This is a very special video. The story itself is filled with meaningful ingredients that strongly hold your attention. After experiencing the video you continue to receive a great deal related to what you have just experienced. I feel economics are ignoring our Divine Source that we can be in Conscious Relationship with which relates directly to the economics of life. In living by giving and devoting all acts, service and accomplishments to Our Divine Source expecting nothing in return but Trusting in Source we will be provided for in the best way possible to fulfill our destiny life becomes miraculous and reveals the true purpose of life which is to truly discover your relationship with The Divine. I had my nine years on the ocean in wooden sailboats and had started this spiritual path 8 years before it manifest for me to live my calling to live on the ocean in a windship. I jumped into living by giving in 1970 and it has never stopped being a flow of miracles that have raised and created me wholisticly. Infinite Loving Blessings tp all opening to the new Light entering to abolish the deception, dishonesty, and folly on all levels so a High Harmony can reveal life's true potential.
We need people like her to run our world. people who had to conserve to survive, people who learned to live with nature and her forces, not those overpaid selfish, executives, ignorant of their doing, who have ruined our planet to very near the point of no return...
Conserve to survive? Did you listen to her talk?
She tells you a story about; the time, energy, resources and money she wastes so she could do something unproductive, wasteful and meaningless, then continues to lectur you about how you should give more and use less.
Your a fucking nut job.
nice video thanks friend
What a fantastic TED talk. bill
Thanks for that, bill. signed Alex
What can I do, at a personal level to contribute to this change? How do I move forward in my own life without compounding the problem? Suggestions?
Woman I admire. I am a sailor maself. What she achieved is inspirational.
私が船を購入して間もない頃、Ｂ&Qの三胴船で日本に来ていて浦賀沖まで、見送りに行こうかと考えてマリーナからみていたのを思い出しました。
個人的にはヨットの世界にいて活躍していて欲しかった。最近もないと思っていたら、別な世界に足を踏み入れていたからかと思いました。ヨットの世界はフォイリングに変わりました。できればそういう技術を開発して欲しかった。循環型には技術は少なく受け身であると思います。活躍期待しています。👍
Go ahead Ellen
Manufactured obsolescence should be a crime. Well technically it is , just not in the books yet.
She just gets better and better.
wow, I don't often feel so moved by something to tears. Beautiful, thought provoking, accurate and substantial. Can I use this footage in film screenings at my local library?
Not only are we squandering our finite resources, but also destroying our planet to obtain them. As one person I feel so helpless to change the wrongs I see. Watching this talk reminded me I am not alone in my thinking, and not to give up on my quest for change. Margaret Mead said it best, "Never doubt that a small group of committed citizens can change the world. Indeed. It is the only thing that ever has."
About time
Peter Joseph (Zeitgeist Movement), Jacques Fresco (The Venus Project). The ideas are spreading/being rediscovered. Thankfully. Great talk!
Zendo YOUR A JOKE AND SO IS ZEITGEIST
Am I the only one who doesn't remember anything from before I was around 13, I don't remember doing anything or having any dreams or realising anything. Here I am now at 17 looking at myself and only just starting to think about what I want to do but still with no idea.
I wish that something I had done when I was young inspired me to: sail around the world, become a rocket scientist, write a book etc ...........how does this happen?
Wow! This is a stunning talk.
I am encouraged that such passion might guide us through the rough rough waters we all now face.
Bucky Fuller's 'Operating Manual for Spaceship Eaarth' was just 'webinared' by his diligent Institute today........he considered himself principally 'a sailer' as well.
I understand when she says we.
This was so simplistic, "recycle everything" as if no one has ever thought of that. "Now we have a plan". I agree though. If your bath tub is flooding you dont't go get a bucket you turn of the faucet. (Plastics)
How can we take these ideas and put them into policy action? And how can we inspire businesses/corporations to make these types of changes as consumers? I am curious how to change the model and shifting it will allow us to put these ideas into action on the large-scale. Thinking about timing, these are the types of activities that will meet climate goals, but without there being some sort of force behind it (legislative, consumer shifts), I feel a bit disheartened that we will get to where we need to be by the time we need to be there.
She is so inspiring.
you have inspired me since you did this wow you some lady
Amen sista
Exploring the Limits
Great presentation. We really need better design for reuse of the finite materials on this earth.Sure wish I could reuse all the packaging that I push to the curb every week. I own so many single use appliances, computers, tools, furniture, etc. Sure, some items get recycled, but if it was designed for multi use, perhaps it could some day power our homes and cars or fertilise our gardens.I like the terms linear and circular economy.Thanks for sharing TED.
this is what u call a sailer
sailor*
How is a sailboat propelled by the wind, and whose electronics are powered by the wind and/or sun an example of a finite system? Seems to me its exactly the opposite.
Why does she keep saying we if she was alone on that boat? or does she mean herself and the boat?
Her self and the boat. As a sailor myself the boat is company, has its own personality, and abilities.
Which B&Q can u get those from? I got kicked out of my local one because I got in to a fight with one of the workers after he asked "do you want decking?"
What’s sort of text is it?
I was emotionally impacted by this talk, need to take some personal responsibility.
We do all this and it didn't work out so well
That was done very well, and with teeth.
Gee she reminds me of me
6:34 its just too funny
That was almost as motivating as the movie Soylent green
ever wonder about the metals in boat bottom paint......
We need hemp based products... hemp could produce many things today that requires more raw materials and production than growing mass crops of hemp to create many many products from every part of the plant. Then it can regrow in just months, as long as you have soul, water, light and ability to clone and obtain good seeds you can sustain solid harvests for decades to come. This new transition to hemp based products would also establish an entire new economy and industry along with new jobs.
Ellen Macarthur is a very impressive individual, no mistake. Her message however has an awful power and I had no idea various strategic resources were so terribly scarce! I am rethinking my life as I type this.
I think that's about the time that satellite communications became available which made it that more exciting
Like her grandfather, I also fed pit ponies in a coal mine when I was at Newcastle upon Tyne. The pit ponies I saw were blind as a cause of the coal dust. One old and wise coal miner used to advise the other coal miners, "Do not ask for a pay rise as that will continue to escalate, it is much better to ask for a plot of land 200 feet long and 21 feet wide and we could plant it with the veggies and other food we need and we would ask the coal companies just to educate of children free of charge.
As the lady said it so well, our forefather only asked for the basics and the families were stable for thousands of years. With the modern family demands, we are overusing the raw materials and we will soon not know what we are going to do with the refuse and the rubbish we are throwing away..........we shall sink in our own rubbish and refuse. Some packets I buy from the supermarket have even three wrappings around them before one comes to the item itself. Some countries do not know what to do with their rubbish and hidden behind Australia's modern living..... few people know that Australia is dumping its plastic in Malasia. How about that for selfishness and egoism!
