This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. The point is that we should try to make usefull things using useless material so that to protect our environment and earth’s future. In other words, we need “upcycling”.
Was born in 1979 and grew up in Pangrati, Athens. He studied philosophy at 2 mediocre universities in Massachusetts. Without much direction, he worked for two years at a shipping firm, and later at a pleasure boats agency. The only fixed point in his life was sailboat racing which he participated in since he was three years old. At some point he decided that he wanted to help increase participation in sailing. So from 2011 he created around ten annual yacht races that, as of 2014, have contributed more than 3 million € to their local communities. At a sailing seminar he was teaching, before one of these events, he met a group of friends from Corfu and they fell madly in love with an idea. The idea is the manufacturing of world-class upcycled products in Greece that come from the sea, and share their unique and beautiful stories of life at sea. Q.E Salty Bag.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
