It's Okay to be a Hippie | Maya Chari | TEDxYouth@Conejo

Everyone has an inner hippie, no matter how it is expressed. Maya describes the current dilemmas in ocean life, and how through our inner hippie we can counteract and save the flora and fauna that has benefited us and the earth for centuries. Maya digs nature. Her favorite place in the world is Yosemite National Park, and her second favorite place is the CVUSD school board meeting room. She wants to study biology or environmental science in college and at some point in her life would like to dabble in the park ranger field. Maya likes to show off her collection of captions for the New Yorker Caption Contest which she has been participating in for about two years, even though she has never won or even placed. At school, Maya is the proud co-president of a club called Hands on Earth and writes for her school newspaper. She also loves to tie dye, and to sell that tye die for a humble profit. Maya would like to thank her family for their infinite love. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
