- For one month Rob Greenfield lived just like the average person and WORE every single piece of trash he created. Why? To create a visual of how much trash just one of us creates and serve as a mirror to society to self-reflect, question habits and explore alternatives to live in balance with Earth.
Rob Greenfield is an activist and humanitarian dedicated to leading the way to a more sustainable and just world. He embarks on extreme projects to bring attention to important global issues and inspire positive change. His work has been covered by media worldwide including National Geographic and he’s been named “The Robin Hood of modern times” by France 2 TV. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Hello Dear Friends!
This is Robin Greenfield.
Together, we can take our power back from consumerism and capitalism and put the power back into our own hands!
One step at a time we can reconnect with Earth, with our communities and with ourselves.
We can meet our needs by fostering deeper relationships with each other, by learning skills and by simplifying our lives.
And this can all be done with great joy. :)
I'm here to be of service to you and Earth.
Love,
Robin Greenfield
I'm so inspired by your walk. Knowing others speak on behalf of Mother Nature keeps me going.
I hope you can be my neighbor bro.
I love how you live your life. um.. I dunno what I am talking but maybe you know what I mean. hha
Awesome - thanks man
Can we please start with cups and straws? So many people walk around with these disposables. Do they really not connect the dots?
What I admire about you is that you can calmly lay it out there (pick topic)!
Honestly, I still feel judgmental and angry most of the time on how people have been whitewashed and don't seem to care.
I thank you because I'm working on reducing, maybe eliminating, all vestiges of "industrialism". Don't want it!
I was there! I had the chance to meet Rob Greenfield, and his speech changed the way I think about waste. I also read his book "Dude Making a Difference", very impressive! He is a modern hero and I want to be like him!
Thank you Rob for a physical reminder of all the destruction that consumerism does to the earth through our actions. I am going to try and lessen my impact.
you people are insane, maybe just focus on your own life, fix yourself and stop trying to control everyone else. Good grief, you idiots ruin everything. It won't work, the rest of us know what is going on....
Love it! Rethink, refuse, reduce, reuse, repair, repurpose, rot, recycle.
Rob is so inspiring!!! We need to HEAR this and SEE this and UNDERSTAND this! We have to stop!
This message is mind-blowing and apart from that, I learned some new words thank you for that too.
👏👏👏👏👏
Well representation and interesting topic 👍👍
I rem this guy a few years ago and loved watching his journey.
What a great way of expressing the message....we need to collectively act sensibly to make concious choices!..... Awesome presentation 💯
Love you Rob! Thank you for all you do!
Thank you for this. Absolutely genius- I love the visual and will be showing my secondary school aged students in September.
If I had a suit like that, it wouldn't fit a one month supply of empty beer cans, even if they were crushed up small.
God help me if I bought bottled beer!
meh.
Just wow. Real sound love from 🇳🇵
bold and beautiful message. as always :):)
Thanks Rob for sharing this important message to the world! Congratulations for all your efforts!
Genius idea! Although, the presentation felt a little stretched out, with a lot of repetition. I really wish Rob shared more about the encounters he had on the streets, the most consumed and "heavy" product, and deep personal realizations. If the ultimate target audience is the mass consumer, sharing their instant opinions and realizations s they are, "on-the-spot" would be such a beautiful touch as well. Thanks for your work, Rob!
Youre absolutely brilliant Rob! Great talk, and great message, as always!
Well done Robin!
Right in the times of need!
Brilliant Rob. Thanks for bringing this to everyone’s awareness in such an impactful way.
Thanks a lot Rob. I love your message, sadly most people don't care about it at all. Talking with everyone will help them understand and take steps.
Thank you rob
Great talk!
Great job inspiring others!
Amazing Dude !
You really are the change we need to see
His compelling message is exceptionally well-delivered. I wish, though, he would give less exposure to companies guilty of massive pollution, e,g, Target, McDonalds, Coke
Thanks for your information
Thanks so much Rob
💚💚💚🙌🏻 excellent!
I despair. I don't believe humans are prepared to change enough to make the impact required to save our home for the future. But that's OK, the earth will survive, we will go extinct
People need to stop eating meat. That would make a great big difference. I'm Indian and I've been vegetarian all my life. There is plenty of choice in food. You just have to learn to compromise a little
@@MukeshKumar-jo3jl you would have to go vegan, ie cut out dairy to make the difference. (Most soy crops are grown for cattle feed) We produce more methane than cows. Humans are the problem.
@@SusanChinnery60 why not just make everyone in the world turn to soya milk instead? Would cereal and tea without milk taste normal?
Congratulations!
Powerful project
Wax worms are often used as fishing bait. / But the common moth larvae / could have a role in solving the global pollution crisis. / A chance discovery / showed their bodies degrade / polyethylene-based shopping bags / faster than anything else.
we are human can do much faster.
Amazing 💞🙏
Lame.

Genius!!! ❤
The fact that not even 50 thousand people saw this video is truly sad. I wish the news are covering things like this and broadcasting it every single day.
Must get warm in there!

The most comprehensive meta-analysis conducted to date with 119 countries, shows avoiding meat, dairy and eggs is the "single biggest way" to reduce our environmental impact on Earth. -Oxford
listen to mother nature!
There need to be a systemic change. You can’t even get food without packaging, even if you use all natural ingredients, eventually something will be packaged.

面白いトッピクだと思うます。
それは正直なところちょっとばかげている

Tough crowd
We need a new system like… yesterday.
Great speech and experiment but you cannot change millions of people maybe a few and that's good.
Come up with a plan to change the whole system so we don't f... up this world.
This is a drup in a heavy rain but great speech and experiment 🌺
LMAO!

Was he sponsored by Target? Dominos, Starbucks, McDonalds etc? Coz, the logos are right there! Then again, can't judge, because money needs to come from somewhere.
