Jack Amend is a 27 year old entrepreneur from Los Angeles, California.  He received his Bachelor’s degree from University of California, Santa Barbara.  A few years ago, he came up with the idea of wanting to eliminate the carbon footprint created by the internet.  He is extremely successful at what he does, but he often gets overlooked because not many people understand exactly what he is doing.  His project is called The Web Neutral Project.  This project is aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of the internet through a comprehensive carbon neutral certification program.  So far Jack and his team have already eliminated the production of over 300 metric tons of CO2.  He aims at providing companies with renewable energy sources rather than burning through even more energy.  He wants to eliminate the Internet’s dependency on fossil fuels through a comprehensive website certification program.  He worked his way through the chain of command and made sure to retain on the knowledge he was taught when he was younger.  He displays many characteristics of an entrepreneur.  He is innovative, driven, and always looking to better himself and his company.  He is said to be very good to work for and his employees have nothing but positive things to say about him.  I really admire his ability to not allow his age to slow him down, but rather use it to motivate him.  He does not see barriers as something stopping him, but rather something else that he can overcome and accomplish.
