Boyan Slat was 19 years old when he started this project. He raised over $2 mio. for this project and worked with his university to make it happen. I think he's a great role model for young people. We need more young people like him who try to find solutions for the pressing problems of the 21st century. There are some people who dismiss the Millennials, but it's clear to see that many of them want to have a positive impact and prefer a meaningful life over hedonism. I hope the project works out, but even if it won't work, the signal he's sending is very empowering.
