Boyan Slat combines environmentalism, entrepreneurism, and technology to tackle global issues of sustainability in his TEDX Delft talk. After diving in Greece and coming across more plastic bags than fish, he wondered; “Why can’t we clean this up?” He differed college to pursue his ideas, and is now the CEO of The Ocean Cleanup.
