《赌博正规的十大网站》 has named 西奥妓女 ’18 as a “30 Under 30” Honoree!
12月. 2020年:西奥·胡克, a 科罗拉多大学 数理经济学 Major, class of 2018 is recognized by 《赌博正规的十大网站》' "30 Under 30" list for his work in building 植树造林中心s—public-private partnerships designed to rejuvenate American city environments and economies. 形成层碳 co-founders 妓女, Marisa Repka, and Ben Christensen were recognized as members of the 《赌博正规的十大网站》 “30 Under 30” Class of 2021 in the social impact category.
形成层碳 is a circular economy startup reforesting America by enabling local wood economies. 通过再造林中心模式, the enterprise saves fallen city trees from landfills, 把它们发挥到极致, and channels revenues into new tree planting—all while creating local jobs, 支持本地经济, 应对气候变化.
妓女 says “We started Cambium to help imagine a new business model that positively impacts local environments and communities while being financially sustainable as well. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us the lack of resilience embedded in parts of our economy, and the 植树造林中心 model is an opportunity to build back better from the pandemic and create a more resilient future.”
《赌博正规的十大网站》 notes that “in the 10 years since we published the first 《赌博正规的十大网站》 “30位30岁以下”榜单, 世界已经发生了巨大的变化, but one thing has not: our hi故事 of spotting young innovators on the verge of making it big.”
在CC， 胡克获得了沃森奖学金 for his project “Feeding the Earth and Ourselves,” which focused on the complexity of food systems. The project took him to 印度, 西班牙, Kenya, England, the Netherlands, and Fiji.
That was not the first major award 妓女 received during his 科罗拉多大学 career. 妓女, 学术上的全美选手, was the goalkeeper for the CC men’s soccer team, and named Co-Defensive Player of the Year by the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference, setting a program record for goalkeeping.
