Environmental Impact & Problem Statement - Rio Motagua is a significant source of plastic pollution, acting as an artery carrying plastic into the ocean [1] - Plastic pollution is a disconnection issue, with systems focused on extraction and waste [2] - Microplastics and toxins from polluted rivers are now found within human bodies [2] Proposed Solution & Principles - Addressing plastic pollution requires turning off the "plastic tap" and focusing on regeneration [3] - Two core principles are: design for disappearance (every material should have an end of life) and build with abundance (use regenerative materials) [4] - These principles, initially applied to seaweed, are now used by Lolly in developing ocean-born, biodegradable biomaterials [5] Implementation & Collaboration - Lollware collaborates with Guatemalan manufacturing families to transition from fossil-based plastics to seaweed-based resins [6] - The transition process involves collaboration, experimentation, and learning from failures, with local wisdom leading and technology following [7] Outcomes & Vision - The transition results in new blue-green jobs, toxin-free manufacturing, improved margins, and a just regenerative transition in Guatemala [8] - The vision is a circular flow from ocean to materials, to manufacturing communities, to products designed to disappear into nutrient-rich soil [8] - The goal is a new manufacturing operating system for the planet that reconnects the economy with ecology, envisioning plastic-free regions [9]

Mindprinting – Engineering a Legacy Beyond Sustainability | Praveena Rajendra | TEDxUTM

Core Concept: Mind Print - The core concept introduced is "Mind Print," a blueprint of thoughts, habits, and relationships that shapes how individuals live and lead [5][7] - Mind Print consists of two parts: "Mind," the inner work of noticing and healing, and "Print," the outer work reflecting inner alignment in daily life [8] - Changing the way individuals think can change the way they live and lead, emphasizing the power of transforming inner beliefs [9] Inner Work: Mind - Noticing one's thoughts and self-talk is the first step in breaking negative cycles [10] - Healing involves setting boundaries, releasing responsibilities, and prioritizing self-care without guilt [12][13] - Creating a safe mental space eliminates the need for external validation and allows individuals to be their authentic selves [13] Outer Work: Print - Reclaiming one's voice, speaking with honesty and clarity, is essential [15] - Efficiency is redefined as "regenerative efficiency," valuing clarity and intentionality over speed and urgency [16][17] - Radiance is the authentic presence felt by others when inner work is complete, stemming from being real rather than perfect [18] Leadership and Systemic Change - True leadership values performance over power, creating a grounding presence for others [19] - Systems are viewed as repeated behavioral patterns, and changing one's Mind Print can redesign these systems [21] - Small shifts in behavior can scale up to affect organizations, communities, and broader societal changes [22] Regeneration and Legacy - Regeneration extends beyond environmental sustainability to encompass the way individuals think, decide, and act [23] - Every word, boundary, and pause leaves a trace, shaping one's legacy in the present moment [26] - The concept of Mind Print is not just personal but has planetary implications, emphasizing the importance of leaving a positive impact [26]
