Boyan Slat

And

I started to be inspired by entrepreneurs like Boyan Slat for auction cleanup, or Josephine Clou about TechFugees for helping refugees in tech.

And I said, okay, this is the kind of entrepreneur

I want to be.

The future is now: Robots helping US combat plastic pollution and climate change.

A twenty-five-year-old Dutchman named Boyan Slat, alternately hailed as an ocean action hero and a wunderkind by the publication Maritime Executive, has for years waged war against plastic pollution in the world's oceans.

359.

Walking the talk: How Gen Z and social media are affecting real social change.

[laughs] No, that was not my intention.

But basically it was founded by, uh, Boyan Slat in 2013.

And after he went on a diving trip, or I can't remember if he was diving or swimming or whatever, but he saw all this plastic in the ocean, and he was like, "Oh, we must remove it." And their long-term goal is to remove 90% of floating ocean plastic by 2040.

So it's a crazy goal.
