Can a Simple Piece of Paper Change the Way We Eat? Kavita Shukla at TEDxManhattan

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.*

Hi James - Thanks for your question. FreshPaper can be used in or out of the fridge! (It was originally designed for use in areas without refrigeration, but many users also place sheets in fridge drawers/shelves and have reported that produce in the fridge with FreshPaper stays fresh for 2-4x longer!)

[FenugreenFreshPaper]

Thanks for taking the time to let us know! We looked into it, & unfortunately it seems they tried to use it in air-tight containers (not the intended use), but we were glad to see that they acknowledged that FreshPaper prevented mold in open air berry containers;) We're disappointed they didn't take the time to learn about FreshPaper/how to use it, but thanks to the support of our incredible users, we're confident that this won't keep us from getting FreshPaper to food banks & farmers in need.

This is a great idea!! I hope this takes off! I love that it's biodegradable too. The only problem I can think of is that if it was made from paper, wouldn't that be hurting tree supplies? Still awesome though. If I see some around, I'll pick some up for my household :)

[jamescc]

Great simple product that will change the world and ways we keep our food fresh...

[FenugreenFreshPaper]

Thanks for your comment! This is one of our primary goals for the next version:) Stay tuned!

There's a reason it's called a 'business' and not 'charity'. Products are made to be sold. It's up to the prospective customer to make the decision as to whether or not this is something that adds value to their life and dollar. You should learn to never criticise the doer. At least she's made a business model designed to give back to people in need. You should think on that before you criticise.

Great idea. Let me know when this product will be available in Jamaica! :)

[freshforall]

Thanks so much for your support - it means a lot to us!

[philiq]

Nice! I'll have to do just that then! Thanks :)

I have noticed that a lot of people bring in empirical knowledge to make fast money. The talks given here sound good because they are rote learned and memorized.Two more min of normal conversation with Ms shukla you will know this is not genius or even close.I have high regard for chinese indian cultures but there are many thugs l who bring in old knowledge package it to make some quick money.THIS IS NOT NEGATIVE BUT AN EYE OPENER AND FREE SPEECH

[freshforall]

We're so excited to hear that you've enjoyed using FreshPaper - Thanks for your support!!

[freshforall]

Thanks for your support - it means a lot to us!

[MartyLuthar]

what about giving out the recipe so people can make it at home? Think about it

[jamescc]

So we don't really need refrigerator after all?

[janicevries]

I bought this and did my own home experiment and it made no difference. The fruits and veggies both had no difference. Selling crockpot!!

[hollydavis]

love the idea but will have a hard time getting it, grocers wont be happy about it

[philiq]

The world would be far better off if more people found one solution to a problem than 100 problems to a solution.

[freshforall]

Sir I challenge this on my soul. People want to make fast money. Human greed and no talent. Only arrogance, show off and manipulation. Someone is silencing people who talk about this product. Wow something is smelling Sir. These people need to be watched

[AndrewWalsh]

Did you put to test what this lady is selling?. The moment i gave my opinion. Someone has tried to get into my account and I get harrassing emails. I really wonder why these people are so hostile. Obviously they have something big to hide
