Dwarkadas Suresh, known as "Solar Suresh," advocates for ecological balance through sustainable living. He demonstrates this with his self-sufficient home, utilizing solar panels, rainwater harvesting, biogas, terrace gardens, and an Air-o-water machine that makes drinking water from air.

Suresh emphasizes personal contribution to avoid natural resource depletion, stating that a lack of curiosity and awareness hinders societal change. He asserts that sustainable living is a neglected concept, and eco-friendly solutions like solar plants are economically viable for homes, businesses, and institutions. He has successfully implemented these solutions and shared his vision at numerous institutions, including a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.

Rapid decarbonization of Western lifestyles is essential to avoid catastrophic climate change. This talk, based on the EU-funded CityZEN project, outlines a methodology to engage communities in envisioning a shared, carbon-free future. By visualizing individual carbon footprints, design interventions can transform consumption across urban space, mobility, and energy, creating bio-diverse, prosperous, and connected neighborhoods.

Greg Keeffe, Professor of Sustainable Architecture at Queens University Belfast, is an academic and urban designer with over 30 years' experience in sustainability. He develops innovative solutions for urban revitalization and theoretical hypotheses for our future existence. This presentation was delivered at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.

Not all green solutions are created equal. Many eco-friendly alternatives, from corn-based biofuels to biodegradable plastics, promise to save the planet—but do they truly deliver? In this

Not all green solutions are created equal. Many eco-friendly alternatives, from corn-based biofuels to biodegradable plastics, promise to save the planet—but do they truly deliver? In this engaging talk, sustainability researcher and Georgia Tech professor Patricia Stathatou shares a powerful 3-question framework to cut through the hype and assess the true environmental impact of emerging technologies. Drawing on surprising case studies, such as the unintended consequences of ethanol and the progress of electric vehicles, she reveals how to evaluate products and policies across their full lifecycle, from production to disposal.

As an assistant professor in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Georgia Tech, Patricia specializes in sustainable water and energy systems, working to redefine their design and assessment. Her research, featured in Forbes and WSB-TV, integrates life cycle and techno-economic assessments with real-world data to drive sustainability. With a doctorate from the National Technical University of Athens and postdoctoral research at MIT, she has also contributed to international standards, including marine fuel guidelines for the International Maritime Organization, accelerating the transition to cleaner technologies and more sustainable environmental solutions.

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.

Ireland's public sector spends €9 billion annually on goods and services, totaling €100 billion over the next decade. This significant public expenditure presents a crucial opportunity to reduce carbon footprint, conserve energy, and boost environmental awareness among citizens.

Dublin fireman Neil McCabe demonstrates how this investment could foster environmentally friendly buildings and generate substantial cost savings. Transitioning to a green, low-carbon economy would not only save money but also create jobs.

The question remains whether local authorities and the government will embrace this vision. This discussion, hosted by Duncan Stewart, was published on Feb 18, 2014.
