Self-described waste tragic Candice Myers fell into the waste industry when she opened a small business with her sister in 2015.
With a hospitality and accounting background, she never dreamed that a career in waste would be her future, however, the complexities of the issues surrounding waste captured her attention and soon became a passion.
Realising she needed to know more, she enrolled in a Bachelor of Sustainability degree at 38 as a single mother to 3 children. That completed she is now enrolled in a Masters of environmental sciences. She can often be found volunteering at litter pickups, building worm farms and debating waste issues.
Candice’s passion is focussed on waste but encompasses all the environmental issues facing us in these modern times. She is passionate about educating and finding solutions to the overconsumption leading to excess waste... and wants to change the narrative on waste being something we dispose of to a resource that needs to be valued. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

[@theboone8341]

I thought this would be about the amount of food she consumes.

[@marktaylor865]

I couldn't concentrate on anything other than her leg folds. It was horribly distracting.

[@lukemyers4579]

or you could have just not watched it and listened to the vidoe

[@marktaylor865]

@@lukemyers4579 tbh I don't think I've been rude or anything. I think that's a fair point.

[@good1dawg]

How about ask yourself if it was honestly necessary you posted that comment and then how she would feel about it and then ask again if you think you were being rude.

[@marktaylor865]

@@good1dawg the truth is never offensive. Ever.

[@TheAlexBoerboom]

@@good1dawg how she would feel about it? It's the result of her life choices.
