Kenneth Van den Bergh is an innovative advocate for an emerging trend in today’s world, carbon neutrality. Carbon neutrality refers to achieving net-zero carbon emissions through either eliminating or removing carbon emissions from the environment. He executes this unique work through Carbon+Alt+Delete, a non-profit organization he co-founded to address the importance of the issue and the severe consequences of ignoring it.

His TEDx talk walks us through carbon neutrality’s relevance to not only businesses and professionals, but to students and people from all walks of life.
