There is a point in life when you realize that going to bed because you are tired is infinitely better and more satisfying than going to bed because you are bored. And that is when you start your day early in the morning planning for that moment at sunset." The person to whom this idea belongs is Alin Useriu Uhlmann , coordinator of the fascinating project "Tasuleasa Social".
And probably with this idea in his mind, in 2001, when he came back to Romania, Alin started building a volunteers' wonderland in Bistrita, called "Tasuleasa Social". 13 years later, it has grown in one of the most prolific and novel green NGOs in Romania: 20 000 volunteers, over 200 000 planted trees, 200 tons of garbage collected from the woods, 10 renovated and fully equipped schools, medicine worth of 1 million euros donated to the sick and poor, one ecological water treatment plant and 3 hectares of "Pedagogical Forest", a space in which children can learn about the importance of clean waters and forests and about the connection between humans and those two. And these are just a few of the many things Tasuleasa can be proud of.

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)
