Dr. Barton Rubenstein is an American sculptor who works in water sculpture, wind kinetic sculpture, and vertical sculpture in suspension. Trained as a scientist and engineer, he brings a technical perspective to his art, applying principles of physics, mechanics, and visual perception to the development of his sculptural systems. His sculptures are typically defined by modernist forms, precise fabrication, and an emphasis on the interplay between structure, movement, and the natural elements.

He is also the founder along with his family of The Mother Earth Project in 2015 in Maryland - they were inspired by Barton’s meeting with Al Gore in 2006. 

Motivated by Gore’s environmental advocacy, the family began adopting sustainable practices at home, which eventually led their community to become a model for sustainability, including initiatives like LED street lighting.

With their murals, sculptures and parachutes, the Project has become a global movement aligning with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals - or SDGs.

Gary Oppenheimer is the creator of AmpleHarvest.org, a nationwide 501c3 nonprofit that connects home gardeners with local food pantries so surplus produce becomes nourishment instead of waste. He saw that solving hunger could start by unlocking the fresh food already growing in 62 million backyards, then built a nonprofit that makes sharing it easy for anyone. His work has helped more than 5,800 communities access healthier food while cutting unnecessary waste.

A self described “aging geek” and Master Gardener from northern New Jersey, Gary used his background in technology to tackle food waste and hunger in a simple, neighbor to neighbor way. Recognized as a CNN Hero and World Food Prize nominee, he still thinks like a backyard gardener at heart, believing that small acts like sharing a few extra tomatoes can quietly change lives.

Gary’s innovative view of hunger relief shows how simple ideas, scaled with smart technology, can spark real change.
