Innovators searching for solutions to thehave a new champion in Alexis Ohanian, who made his fortune in Silicon Valley decades ago as a co-founder of Reddit. Ohanian is now the driving force behind a foundation that provides funding to young entrepreneurs dedicated to tackling the challenges posed by a warming planet.
His 776 Foundation aims to distribute $20 million to fund climate solutions. Twenty young people from around the world are now utilizing the first round of funding to embark on diverse projects ranging from eliminating carbon emissions from the atmosphere to mitigating the spread of wildfires. "I tell these fellows, 'I just need one of you to do something amazing and I will be bragging about that for the rest of my years to my daughter,' right? I'd be like, 'Remember, papa was the one to believe in that thing that saved our planet,'" Ohanian said. "I want people to come up to Olympia talking about how cool her dad is just as much as people come up to her and say how cool her mom is," he said.
Now she is also finishing work on an animated short film about bees and the loss of their habitat. Viola Davis is an executive producer and Whoopi Goldberg is voicing one of the characters.
