Στην ελληνική μυθολογία, το Κέρας της Αμάλθειας, γνωστό και ως Κέρας της Αφθονίας από το οποίο τρεφόταν ο Δίας, ήταν ένα σύμβολο ευημερίας, ένα δοχείο που ξεχείλιζε από τα δώρα της φύσης και τους πολύτιμους λίθους, αντιπροσωπεύοντας την απόλυτη ικανοποίηση των επιθυμιών. Ωστόσο, η εστίαση στην υλική ευημερία και την απόκτηση πλούτου δημιουργεί ένα ερώτημα: αν το κέρας της Αμάλθειας ήταν γεμάτο σήμερα, θα μας χάριζε την ίδια αίσθηση πληρότητας; Και εν τέλει τι σημαίνει πραγματικά αφθονία; Είναι η συσσώρευση πλούτου ή μήπως μια νοοτροπία που αμφισβητεί την έλλειψη; Τι θα γινόταν αν ορίζαμε την επιτυχία όχι από το πόσα κατέχουμε, αλλά από το πόσα μοιραζόμαστε; Όντας επικεφαλής πολιτικής του WWF Ελλάς, με σπουδές φιλοσοφίας και μεταπτυχιακό στην περιβαλλοντική ηθική, η Θεοδότα έχει αφιερώσει την καριέρα της στην προώθηση οικολογικών πολιτικών και στη διαμόρφωση στρατηγικών για την προστασία του πλανήτη.Μέσα από τη δράση της, επιδιώκει να αναδείξει την κλιματική αλλαγή ως πραγματική κρίση και να κινητοποιήσει θεσμούς και κοινωνία για άμεσες, αποτελεσματικές λύσεις This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
