How One Small Idea Led to $1 Million of Paid Water Bills | Tiffani Ashley Bell | TED
When programmer Tiffani Ashley Bell learned that thousands of people in Detroit were facing water shutoffs because they couldn’t afford to pay their bills, she decided to take action -- in the simplest, most obvious way possible. It’s an inspiring story of how one person with tenacity and an idea can create monumental change -- and a demonstration that each of us can find our own way to help the world, even if it means starting without all the answers.
