Note: These video clips are not typical of Storm's talks, because there's no PowerPoint.  His normal talks feature numerous, dramatic before-and-after photos of our communities and nature being restored. They also feature many hilarious, appropriate cartoons.

These PowerPoint-less talks were chosen because it's near-impossible to feature both the speaker and the PowerPoint slides effectively in such video clips.  Thus, a PowerPoint- based presentation would constantly refer to slides that YouTube viewers couldn't see. 

These clips will nonetheless give you a taste of Storm's style and message. It should be pointed out, though, that both of these samples were highly prominent venues with very serious audiences. So, Storm's style was a bit more constrained and formal than usual.
