Eranije ove sedmice, Forbes pokrenuo svoj godišnji 30 Lista ispod 30 godina, featuring some of the top innovators across 20 different categories. And lots of these innovators are working on ways to make the economy more sustainable. Take Noah McQueen, for example, a chemical engineer whose company, Heirloom, extracts carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into limestone, which can be safely and stably stored. Then there’s Quansan Yang, who’s developing microchips that are biodegradable both in the environment as well as in human bodies to eliminate electronic waste.

On the transportation side, there’s Ben Parker, whose company Lightship is developing long-range electric RVs. On the battery side, there’s Joanna Patsalis, whose company Direct Kinetic Solutions aims to build better nuclear batteries. And on the homefront, there’s Jiachen Li, who helped invent a roof coating that can keep houses warm in winter and cool in summer, and is raising money to commercialize the material. And on the clothing front, there’s twin sisters Neeka and Leila Mashouf, whose company Rubi Laboratories has developed carbon-negative textiles that can be used for fashion or other applications.

These are just a few of the Under 30 listmakers who are making strides in sustainability efforts. You can check out the entire list by klikom ovdje.
