Why I don’t care about climate change, but…. | Prachi Shevgaonkar | TEDxShooliniUniversity

This is the story of a young girl
Who didn’t care about climate change…
Until she came across some very real faces
behind its catastrophic impacts.
Today, she stands before you, sharing those very stories.
Prachi Shevgaonkar spent years traveling with
Waste workers, farmers, children and citizen groups
to understand the impact of climate change
in the day to day lives of people.
Inspired by these experiences,
she built an app - Cool The Globe,
to bring global citizens together
on a common goal to save our planet.
In this talk, she shares the story of
the sheer power of citizen actions.
She talks about why we should care about
how climate change impacts our lives,
what we can do to save our planet,
and how citizen actions can create
a ripple effect for transformation. Prachi Shevgaonkar is a communicator, Social Entrepreneur and the founder of an award-winning startup Cool The Globe - an app and a movement for climate action, with users from
over 55 countries. Her journey started with a simple question: ‘What can I do about Climate Change?’ From this was born Cool The Globe app to help citizens fight climate change in their day-to-day lives. Prachi is the first Indian citizen to be appointed on the advisory board of Climate Leadership Coalition alongside the prime minister of Finland and European Union Leaders. She is the youngest recipient of the prestigious Olive Crown Award for excellence in communicating
sustainability. Through Cool The Globe campaigns, Prachi has mobilized over 2 Million global citizens to tackle climate change through technology, advocacy, and grassroots action. She firmly believes that when ordinary citizens come together, miracles can happen. 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

This really resonated with me! It's when climate change affects someone directly, will they realize the clear and present dangers of it! Hope more people get to see this somehow...

Resemble with my thoughts, really good and inspiring speech! I wish politicians in India do rallies for such impacts rather than other infeasible fake speeches! It will take time to implement but at least awareness will increase among people of country! Thanks for the video!

[@martinmaude7124]

Nicely done.

[@nacho1670]

More people need awareness about it...actually most of the people know climate change but they don't know how it happens, how it affects in different ways...people always think that how it works when they start doing something about climate change by them self's, they think it doesn't work..it doesn't change anything... but that's not true.. it will make a difference.. let's start from our home..

[@cprathu]

Powerful💪

Only political power will manage a change. Even if I live completely ecologically my footprint is very high because I live in a first world country. The industry and specially the speculative financial economy has more power than ever and money does not care about us or about life. Her message sounds encouraging but I do not think that this Is an individual thing to decide but a collective one

[@gracerose3189]

This woman is amazing 🤩

[@niharikamohan1428]

[@usharamachandran8968]

Being a vegetarian is one of the ways in bettering climate change

[@coffeeperson1461]

"What is the biggest problem in the world" Will tell you what people are most worried about, not the biggest problem in the world. We hear about "climate disasters" because they are reported more, no one's proved they are happening more.

[@jagmohanrawat470]

Please ask hindi

[@allsortsoffurs]

Nah, it's all screwed already.
