Inspired by the maxim "when one teaches, many learn," 2012 Brower Youth Award Winner Ryland King founded Environmental Education for the Next Generation (EENG). This program recruits college students to teach elementary children about the environment. To promote sustainable action from society's youngest members, King designed an eight-week curriculum, aligned with California State Board of Education standards, covering topics like bee importance, composting, and water conservation.

In less than three years, EENG has engaged 400 college volunteers, teaching over 3,000 elementary students in 200 California classrooms. King aims to significantly expand this reach, with a goal of teaching 14,000 elementary students annually by 2015.

Mansfield Frazier, now in his third year with the Vineyards at Chateau Hough, has secured angel funding for his latest urban agriculture venture: the BioCellar at Chateau Hough.

This project envisions transforming Cleveland's 15,000 abandoned homes. Irreparable structures will be removed, and greenhouses built over their basements, creating "BioCellars" to cultivate high-value mushrooms ($12/pound). This innovative approach aims to grow crops, create jobs, and repurpose land, delivering significant economic, social, and environmental benefits.
