Candice Myers, a self-described "waste tragic," unexpectedly entered the waste industry in 2015. Despite a background in hospitality and accounting, the complexities of waste issues captivated her, transforming into a deep passion. This led her to pursue a Bachelor of Sustainability at 38 and a Masters of Environmental Sciences, all while raising three children.

Myers is dedicated to educating others and finding solutions to overconsumption and excess waste. She actively volunteers at litter pickups and builds worm farms, advocating for a shift in perspective: from waste as something to dispose of, to a valuable resource.

While climate change is a global challenge, modest actions can drive significant impact. An Oxford team is applying concepts like snowball effects and tipping points to human systems, seeking "sensitive intervention points" to accelerate the transition to a post-carbon world.

Professor Cameron Hepburn, Director of Environmental Economics at Oxford's Smith School, leads this research. A Rhodes Scholar with diverse academic and professional experience, he has published widely and advises governments and international institutions on energy and environmental policy.

Eva Hakansson, a mechanical engineer and world-record holder, challenged perceptions of electric vehicles (EVs) as slow or inferior. Raised in a racing household, she designed and built her own electric motorcycles, shattering countless world records and demonstrating the true potential of EVs to be both fast and exciting.

Her journey began with Sweden's first e-bike, the 'Electrocat', leading to the 'KillaJoule'. This electric motorcycle achieved 434 km/hr, making it the fastest female-driven electric motorcycle. Now, her latest project, 'Green Envy', aims to become the world's fastest motorcycle, targeting 650 km/h. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.
