Accounting for Sustainability | Ishika Damani | TEDxYouth@JBCNBorivali
Titled 'Accounting for Sustainability', Ishika's talk redefines accounting as a tool not just for tracking profits, but for measuring and addressing the environmental and social impacts of businesses. She shows us how accounting can help build a more sustainable future by going beyond profits to measure what truly matters — the impact businesses have on people and the planet. Ishika Damani is an introspective teenager who's delving deeply into the process of discovering herself. She invests her time in reading, music, creating intricate bead jewellery, and focusing on her studies. Her interest in accounting has led her to consider the infinite possibilities of the subject in relation to our world, beginning with this talk. 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

- 12:30The Power of Chocolate. | Orielle Garson-Sweidan | TEDxFrancis Holland School Regents ParkInspired by George Bernard Shaw's renowned quote, my speech doesn’t only address the issues amongst humanity, but how to solve them and generate positive change in our world - through chocolate. Facing battlefields, both personal and literal, has become an everyday occurrence, and the way in which we approach these battlefields - flawed. I believe that chocolate should not be seen as an ‘unhealthy’, excessive, overly indulgent sweet treat; chocolate instead is a love we all share, and the paving stones to internal and external peace.This speech was delivered as part of a TEDxFrancisHollandSchoolRegentsPark event.

But who is offering the vital support behind the scenes? Unpaid caregivers play an indispensable role in our society, yet their contributions often go overlooked. It’s time we recognise both the value they bring, and the heavy toll that caregiving can impose on those who give so selflessly.This speech was delivered as part of a TEDxFrancisHollandSchoolRegentsPark event.
