sage advice from the younger set

Loved this article about a 20-year-old who has invented a way to clean up trash from the ocean.

Of course the excitement from that age-group about solving world problems is admirable but rarely taken seriously.  But in this case, enough people found his idea not only original but practical and have jumped on his "let's do this!" bandwagon.

In turn, the inventor, Boyan Slat, has realized what takes some of us a lot longer in life to figure out: The management and staffing of a project is where some of the hardest work lies.

Take a look at The Ocean Clean Up project's website to learn more about the scope of the work.
