Ryan Hickman didn’t wait long to become an entrepreneur. At the age of three, Ryan saw an issue with the amount of trash on our planet and the lack of people recycling. Ryan started by going door to door collecting his neighbor’s recycling for them and taking it to the recycling plant with his dad. In 2022, Ryan is able to have a much greater impact on the world. He travels the world hosting events for people to collect trash on the beaches. When Ryan was interviewed by NBC he said his organization has picked up over 160,000 pounds of trash all over the world.
Ryan didn’t stop by just doing the physical labor of picking up recycling. He continued his mission by starting an awareness t-shirt company in which all the profits go towards rescuing marine animals. He also started an education program for kids and adults to learn the importance of recycling and the effect trash can have on our environment.
I give credit to Ryan for being able to identify a problem, and then take action to make an impact on the World. If Ryan can make this big of an impact on the World at the age of three that leaves no excuse for anyone else.
It’s wonderful reading about someone who cares so much about making a positive difference in the world! I believe that no matter how small, every effort someone makes in order to make the world a better place is meaningful! This company overall has a good story behind it!
