Ryan Hickman is a young entrepreneur who hated it when people would litter, so him and his family started searching around for trash. Determined to make the earth cleaner, he even went around his neighborhood to collect trash and recyclables. He turned his love for cleaning up trash into a business which he titled Ryan’s Recycling Company, and he also designed t-shirts to rally up enough money to donate. Using all of his profits, he donated to a rescue organization called The Pacific Marine Mammal Center, which helped make the earth a cleaner, healthier place for everyone. Whenever anyone buys a shirt from his website, the proceeds go to save a seal. Ryan started all of this at age 3 and made his own business by age 7. He gathered a lot of attention for being so innovative at such a young age, and appeared in famous networks such as Ellen, and Today. His overall goal is to make it so that recyclable containers don’t make their way to the gutters and out-to-sea where they can harm animals and the environment. Despite his young age, he still manages to run his business effectively with the help of his parents. Ryan’s unique and innovative execution of his business not only inspires others to take better care for the environment, but it saves the lives of animals and other living things.
