Crochet as Environmental Activism

Click on the title to this post for the link.

Pulled this from the comments/the about section of the TED clip: Margaret Wertheim leads a project to re-create the creatures of the coral reefs using a crochet technique invented by a mathematician -- celebrating the amazements of the reef, and deep-diving into the hyperbolic geometry underlying coral creation.

As a needle crafter and a lover of math (mind you I say lover of math but definitely no expert, just love great writings or talks on math and find it facinating), this clip is wonderful. I'm also very interested in environmental activism when it drives to positive change and enlightening solutions or awareness.
