Pequeñas decisiones que mueven grandes cambios | Oscar Méndez | TEDxUExternado

A plastic opportunity that became a golden opportunity. Óscar Méndez, a Colombian social entrepreneur, talks to us about the future potential of plastic in the world, a future full of dignified housing for those most in need. A revolutionary idea that aims to change the lives of millions of people. An architect and social entrepreneur from Bogotá, he is the co-founder of Conceptos Plásticos, a company focused on the circular economy and closing the plastic loop, recycling and transforming plastic into construction systems for socially impactful buildings. This is achieved through a collective of citizen and business participation that seeks to raise awareness and educate about the final disposal of waste for its subsequent transformation. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
