The Climate Solution: The power in your hands | Mridula Ramesh | TEDxVersovaWomen

The central idea of her talk was the power in acting local in solving a global problem. She says, climate change is a global problem that affects each location differently. Acting locally leverages one's skin in the game, allows us to tap our deep understanding of the problem, our (greater) power to effect change and craft a solution that emphasizes ease and economics rather than relying merely on conscience, which makes the solution more effective.
