TEDxMelbourne - Simon Griffiths - Changing the world with beer and toilet paper

Social entrepreneur, Simon Griffiths, talks about sparking a revolution in philanthropy through not-for-profit ventures: 'Shebeen' - a bar set to launch in Melbourne, that will fund aid organisations in developing countries with profits and 'Who Gives A Crap' - a toilet paper initiative that uses 50% of its profits to build toilets in the developing world.

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)
