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)

Institutionalizing segregation at source is just the first, but an essential battle won! We've got a long way to go - fixing the tendering process, working on destinations for segregated waste, integrating waste-pickers and contract employees into the formal framework, updating the msw rules 2013 to suggest "segregation, collection, transportation..." as a municipal function instead of "collection, segregation, transportation..." etc.. Phew! We need all the help we can get!! :)
