TEDxNairobi 2010: Going Green with the Web

It’s 2010 and TEDxNairobi is back and this time, we’re going green!

The signs of the times are clear. Our lifestyles and the choices we’ve made as the human race are having a degenerative effect on our planet. For this reason among many others, and because TEDx is in the spirit of ideas worth sharing, spreading and acting upon, we’re dedicating the next TEDxNairobi to challenges, ideas and innovation for our planet.

Green means different things to different people. Some will agree it’s lifestyle changes, some will say it’s what you eat and others will say it’s the only way our generation will preserve the world for the next.

Whichever way you look at it, we’re promoting and talking about all things “Green” at the next TEDxNairobi on the 18th of September at The Leakey Auditorium, Musuem Hill, time just from 1400-1830hrs.

Here’s where you come in.

You may be:

• A Blogger
• A Tweeter
• A Facebooker
• A Googler (yes, you right there)
• An “Online Citizen” (who are these people?)
• All of the Above
• None of the Above

No matter which of these categories you fall into, we want to challenge you to Go Green with TEDxNairobi.

How you can get involved:

• Grab a Blog Badge & Tweet about it!
• Nominate TEDxNairobi e-mbassadors who are Green
• Pick a Green Challenge for the next 3 weeks
• Write a blog post
• Propose ways to be green with our #GreenCityInTheSun hashtag

We’ve put together a page where you can Get Involved and let us know what sustainable ways you can go green with us. We want your ideas, but more than that we want you to actually pick a Challenge or propose one and DO IT! Pick a partner to motivate you and share the journey. So whether it’s taking the stairs for the next month. Deciding to share transport, skip all elevators and take the stairs or use an instant shower (or a cold one brrrr) we welcome all ideas and want you to pick one and chronicle how it is changing your lifestyle. Start with proposing your Green Challenge so others can pick up inspiration and join you here.

Follow us on Twitter and Like us on Facebook for updates, mentions and inspiration.

It’s not what TEDxNairobi can do for you, but what you can do for Nairobi!
