On today's episode, we're diving deep with the innovative 18-year-old, Matteo Markel. A recent graduate of the International School of Zug and Luzern in Switzerland, Matteo has been drawn to the world of science and the potential of technology to address environmental challenges from his early years. A fervent advocate for carbon reduction and a believer in sustainable systems, he's been hands-on with the Aquaponics System at ISZL - a testament to the synergy between fish and plants in creating a sustainable ecosystem. Notably, in 2020, Matteo's vision and drive were recognized with a grant from the IB and the pioneering changemaker association, Ashoka. As he ardently aids ISZL in their quest for carbon neutrality by 2027, Matteo also eyes the future, keen on exploring the delicate dance between economic growth, social upliftment, and environmental preservation. Tune in to hear more about Matteo's journey and his dreams for a balanced world.
