This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Oil spills have decimated the environment throughout the Pacific Northwest and around the world. It's the reality that mobilized two teenagers from Victoria to invent a newer, better, and safer method for cleaning up these devastating environmental disasters.
Students from Victoria, BC who created new technology for cleaning oil spills - while in high school.
TEDxVictoria takes place each year in Victoria, BC, Canada, and is Vancouver Island's largest TEDx event. This year marked the fourth year of the event, which saw more than 700 people gather at the century-old McPherson Playhouse for a full day of Ideas Worth Spreading based around the theme of Pursuit of Knowledge.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
