Ten-year-old Eric was shocked by ocean pollution while snorkeling in the Philippines. Driven by his love for nature and passion for robots and AI, he conceived an innovative solution.

Eric designed AI-powered machinery to collect and sort ocean garbage. His vision is a zero-waste world with pristine oceans, where pollution is history, and robots handle tasks, freeing humans to create and enjoy life. This idea was shared at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.

However, a seemingly mundane act of using plastic bags for her groceries takes a sinister turn, leading to an unexpected, dark outcome.

Tennessee native Erica Davis recognized that rural communities often see little benefit from local oil and gas extraction. Collaborating with grassroots organizers in Campbell County, she researched and sponsored a bill to reform oil and natural gas severance taxes.

Davis's bill aims to raise these taxes, which are the sole legislative means to keep extraction wealth in-state. Crucially, it seeks to distribute all revenue directly to the affected communities where extraction occurs, rather than the current one-third. Despite Davis's lobbying efforts and bipartisan support, the bill was dropped from the 2015-2016 docket. Now pursuing an environmental law degree, Davis plans to revive the legislation in the next session.
