Why you should stop buying new and mod what you have | Gresh Chapman | TEDxRISD

Gresh's talk challenges the way we see maintenance, proving that fostering, not just fixing, can lead to lasting innovation—whether it’s a car, a toaster, or even a bonsai tree.” Gresh, a designer and self-proclaimed “pretengineer,” explores how simple, DIY modifications can make old vehicles more sustainable. In this TED Talk, he shares how he transformed a a 1994 Toyota Hiace —boosting its fuel efficiency and running it on biofuel —all in a weekend. Drawing from his experience building race cars with Brown University engineers, Gresh applies aerodynamics and ecology to rethink transportation. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
