What can I do? | Annisa Azkia Suryadi | TEDxCRIBS Youth

A TEDx talk by Annisa Azkia Suryadi, a Grade 10 student, asks whether one problem can become part of the solution to another. The speaker contrasts coconut shell waste and a polluted river, suggesting that seeing them as linked rather than separate could open new solutions. The talk was given at an independently organized TEDx event in the TED conference format. Azkia, who is interested in science and environmental research, says she hopes to share ideas, spark discussion, and show that small ideas can have a positive impact on society.

• Reframing waste and pollution as connected problems
• Question: can one problem become part of the solution to another?
• Environmental research and creative problem solving by a young speaker

Imagine walking past a pile of coconut shells. What do you see? Most people would probably see waste. Now imagine seeing a river filled with dirty water. What do you see? A problem. But what if, instead of seeing them as two separate problems, we ask “Could one problem become part of the solution to another?” That was the question that changed the way I see the world. Azkia was born on 23 August 2011. Azkia is a Grade 10 student from Cahaya Rancamaya who enjoys learning new things, especially science and environmental research. She is interested in exploring new ideas, gaining different perspectives, and finding creative solutions to real-world problems. Through her participation in TEDx, Azkia hopes to share her ideas with others, inspire meaningful discussions, and encourage people to think beyond the ordinary. She believes that even small ideas can grow into something meaningful and make a positive impact on society. 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
