TEDxTokyo 2016 Speaker Abigail Terrien

Abigail Terrien believes we can be trendy and still keep the Earth clean and green by buying organic, fair-trade and biodegradable goods. Her quest began when the Swiss and English entrepreneur came to Japan from France with a newborn in her arms. Wanting to provide most natural baby clothes, toys and other products for her children and friends children, Abi started bringing in products that matched her expectations on sustainability. Others took notice. She opened up Small Is More, a popup shop in central Tokyo dedicated to offering eco-friendly fashion, accessories and lifestyle for kids as well as various workshops, entertainment and a cafe. Abi’s newest project is called MyOrganic.City—a guide to cities with nice places to eat and shop that offer healthier, more natural options yet retain the trendy touch globetrotters prefer, with Tokyo as the launch point.
