Dr. Shirley Gallagher is an environmental chemist who worked in industry for many years. Business as usual practises and lip service on sustainable action got her motivated to walk the walk. Shirley has carved a niche as an social entrepreneur and keen businesswoman during her years of living in the city of Cork. Now living and working on her native island of Aranmore, Donegal, she wants to make us conscious of the values we validate every time we make a choice.

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)
