The Future Is Biodegradable challenges our “fast” culture and the long-lasting waste it leaves behind. This talk reveals how everyday choices—like a single straw or plastic bag—shape the legacy we leave for future generations. Highlighting inspiring innovations from seaweed to mushrooms, it shows how new materials and new mindsets can help the Earth heal. It’s a call to rethink convenience and design a world where what we create doesn’t outlive what we love. Hello! My name is Esad Bayram Arivamurti, but you can call me Esad. I am a senior high school student at Cahaya Rancamaya Islamic Boarding School with a strong passion for science, research, environmental studies, and food product innovation. I actively engage in projects and research focused on sustainable solutions and product development that benefit both society and the environment. I’m highly curious, analytical, and collaborative, always eager to explore new ideas through hands-on experimentation. My dedication to scientific learning is also reflected in my international achievement as the runner-up at the International Greenwich Olympiad (IGO UK) 2024, an experience that strengthened my problem-solving skills, perseverance, and overall growth as a young researcher. 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
