Eighteen-year-old David Baldwin, inspired by the Everglades, developed a passion for Florida's ecology. At 14, he joined the Everglades Restoration Ambassadors, a nonprofit dedicated to removing nonnative plants. He also educates elementary students using his own modules.

Baldwin's educational programs stem from his research, which began in 2017. Interning at Florida Atlantic University, he studied Caesar's weed, investigating its germination and spread. His findings led him to theorize land-management practices, including hands-on removal and prescribed burns, to control this invasive species.

An optimistic message suggests human-caused climate change will be largely solved within 10-15 years, driven by exponential changes we often underestimate. History shows we consistently misjudge

An optimistic message suggests human-caused climate change will be largely solved within 10-15 years, driven by exponential changes we often underestimate. History shows we consistently misjudge the speed of transformational shifts, like the move from horses to automobiles or America's journey to oil independence.

We are seeing this underestimation again in the transition from a fossil fuel to a low-carbon economy. This perspective comes from David Leuschen, Co-Founder of Riverstone Holdings, a private equity firm focused on energy, and former Goldman Sachs executive.
