TEDxHilo - Susan Cox - Inspiring the next generation of Green Power Heroes

Susan Cox created and implemented the Green Power Hero energy awareness program that has now reached 150,000 students in over 300 schools in Hawai'i, California and New Orleans. Her Green Power Girl (GPG) and Green Power Hero (GPH) super power characters are designed to educate, inspire and activate our inner hero/heroine so we may become powerful in tackling climate change (or even personal change) and fulfill our MIGHTY mission: Sustain life on earth for all children of all creatures for all time. In this TEDxHilo Talk Susan Cox evokes "Green Power Girl" to spread the idea that we all have a Green Super Hero inside of us. Green Power Girl inspires sentient beings at any age to join together to help save the planet. About TEDx In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
