Good morning, everyone, and I feel, first of all, it's been fantastic being here over these past few days.
And secondly, I feel it's a great honor to kind of wind up this extraordinary gathering of people, these amazing talks that we've had.
I feel that I've fitted in in many ways to some of the things that I've heard.
I started off just, I came directly here from the deep, deep tropical rainforest in Ecuador, where I was out, you could only get there by a plane, with indigenous people with paint on their faces and parrot feathers on their headdresses, where these people are fighting to try and keep the oil companies and keep the roads out of their forests.
They're fighting to develop their own way of living within the forest in a world that's clean, a world that isn't contaminated, a world that isn't polluted.
And what was so amazing to me and what fits right in with what we're all talking about here at TED is that there, right in the middle of this rainforest was some solar panels, the first in that part of Ecuador, and that was mainly to bring water up by pump so that the women wouldn't have to go down.
The water was cleaned, but because they'd got a lot of batteries, they were able to store a lot of electricity.
So, every house, there were, I think, eight houses in this little community, could have light for, I think it was about half an hour each evening.
And there is the chief, in all his regal finery, with a laptop computer.
Wow.
