He is the Founder and CEO of The Ocean Cleanup. I'm a great fan of this guy knowing he had accomplished that much despite his age that is why I want to share his vision to propagate it so that more and more people would support his cause.

Boyan Slat (1994) is a Dutch inventor and entrepreneur who is driven to develop advanced technologies that would eradicate world’s oceans of plastic.

The young globalist devised a system that allows floating plastic to concentrate itself through the ocean currents which simplified the plastic collection, reducing the theoretical cleanup time from millennia to mere years.

He projected the first prototype to be deployed in June 2016.

For his efforts, Boyan Slat has been awarded with many recognitions. For one, he was recognized as one of the 20 Most Promising Young Entrepreneurs Worldwide (Intel EYE50), and is the youngest-ever recipient of the UN’s highest environmental accolade; Champion of the Earth.
