They are rolling up their sleeves, improving our environment and inspiring thousands of others to do something. These 50 individuals prove that one person really can change the world. I am personally inspired by each and every one of them.”

The winners come from eclectic backgrounds, including engineers, entrepreneurs, retirees, students, teachers and veterans. Their volunteer projects are also diverse and range from recycling to urban gardens to shoreline restoration and trail creation, among others.
