Enviromental issues are the forefront more than ever in the year 2023. Many people propose solutions or ideas through entrepreneurial thinking in order to provide solutions to the problems that arise within our planet. When it comes to solving these issues there are not many people as good as Boyan Slatt at solving them. He is the founder and CEO of The Ocean Cleanup nonprofit organization dedicated to resolving the amount of plastic polluting our oceans. Boyan realized this was a major issue after vacationing in Greece while scuba diving and realizing how much plastic was visible underwater. He presented his ideas to TED talks and many more which made him gain enough traction to drop out of his aerospace engineering degree in order to pursue his entrepreneurial endeavors full time. His company created and tested technological interception systems that will remove plastic from any body of water. His business is so successful at their mission that they actually want to put themselves out of business in the near future by solving their problem completely in the environment.
