“Make a Difference” with Colin West Introducing our final speaker for TEDxSouthLakeTahoe 2021! Please welcome Colin West 🎉 Founder of Clean Up the Lake, filmmaker, and environmental activist, Colin will take the stage on May 15 to talk about how everyone can make a difference. Too many individuals in life think that one person's impact on the planet won't bring about any actual change; they use this as an excuse to not recycle, use plastic straws, and make other poor decisions based on the premise that one person's actions don't make an impact 🌎🌱 This TEDx talk will be told through the lens of Colin’s personal experiences where he will show how each individual's choice is part of the overall direction our species is headed environmentally and socially speaking. We all possess the unique ability within ourselves to 'make a difference', and that sometimes when we choose an area important to us that we are uniquely passionate about - you could even spark a movement in your wake that is unstoppable 💥 Tickets for the view party are still available for this year’s TEDxSouthLakeTahoe on May 15: bit.ly/TEDX2021 Clean Up The Plastic . . #tedxsouthlaketahoe #southlaketahoe #tahoe #tedx #tedxtalks #ted #motivation #success #ideasworthspreading #resilience #cleanupthelake #environment #ltcc #zerowaste #zeroplastic #trash #tahoe #plastic #plasticpollution #keeptahoeblue #renotahoe

How Embracing Tolerance Has Failed Us Help us welcome Dr. Kristen Donnelly to the red circle on May 15! ‘Tolerance’ - the current model for how we should all get along - is a cheap imitation of what we actually need, which is inclusion. By making the mistake of promoting tolerance, we have ignored diversity completely and flattened it into a talking point. However, an injection of curiosity can power the momentum we need for change.

“See the light, Be the light” Introducing Ryan Brolliar for TEDxSouthLakeTahoe 2021! Underneath the skin of each of us lies a goodness. A truth. A peace. I call it “the light.” When we begin to see and embrace each other as this, we can move past all boundaries that keep us separate. Ryan partnered with Be Alive Inside Foundation to bring the Music is Medicine Tour to senior care facilities and children’s hospitals. As the founder and mastermind behind Music is Medicine Tour, he inspires others to find a new way of looking at one another. This year, he’s coming to TEDxSLT to inspire others to find a new way of looking at one another. “I travelled across the entire country playing music and sharing my story with people in need. 50 hospitals, 50 states. I learned to see people as they are - an eternal light and a peace, regardless of their circumstance or sickness.”��On May 15th, Ryan will remind us of the beautiful similarities between everyone.
