From Furniture Waste to Community Resilience | Xenia Dolovova | TEDxEdmonds College

NOTE FROM TED: TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/t... What if restoring discarded furniture could change lives? Xenia Dolovova shows how giving new life to old furniture can support people in need and build stronger, more compassionate communities. By turning waste into a resource, Xenia reveals how simple acts of repair can create a lasting impact, reducing environmental harm while helping those who need it most. Xenia Dolovova, Founder and Director of the Furniture Repair Bank, is a visionary leader dedicated to tackling furniture waste and promoting equitable access. After a decade in business and marketing across Europe and the Middle East, she pivoted her career in 2019 to address waste issues at Zero Waste Washington, where Xenia's commitment to sustainability shone through as she spearheaded research, community, and innovation initiatives before founding the first-in-the-nation Furniture Repair Bank, fostering a community of mighty, courageous, and empathic individuals. 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
