TEDx Talks (Youtube) How a global movement started in a kitchen | Rebecca Prince-Ruiz | TEDxPerthSalon
Rebecca and a few friends never intended to start a global movement, but 8 years later an estimated 250 million people all over the world participate in Plastic Free July: for one month they choose to refuse single-use plastic from their lives. What's the secret to their success? And while raising awareness is essential, it’s only the first step to being part of the solution. Rebecca believes we all can all take action to reduce our impact on the environment. She is the Executive Director of the Plastic Free Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation that champions a vision of a world without plastic waste. She has a Bachelor of Science and 25 years of experience in environmental and waste management, community engagement, and sustainability behaviour change. Rebecca is a regular media commentator, public speaker and co-author of Plastic Free: The Inspiring Story of a Global Environmental Movement and Why It Matters. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
