Reduce. Reuse. Rethink. : Maya Ayres : Tedxcherrycreekwomen

I bring the idea of reducing, reusing and rethinking to the table instead of reducing, reusing and recycling. mission is to educate people about plastic and share why recycling should not be completely relied on. Learn ways I’ve changed and what drives toward this passion. We hope We can inspire others to do their part also. Since We was young, The content Creator has heard of one singular phrase that has changed the perspective on life - Tikkun Olam. This Jewish phrase refers to the concept of repairing the world. The idea resides within every day and has guided toward the urgent issue of plastic pollution. We began to question the own actions after an outdoor educational opportunity The content Creator had in elementary school, monitoring bluebird boxes. We witnessed firsthand how the own negative actions were reflected in the ecosystem in the area. Today, We strive to repair the world and educate everyone around about the difference we can make together. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
