Meet Marc Andreessen, an entrepreneur, investor, blogger, and multi-millionaire software engineer. Oh yeah, and did we mention, he’s a Wisconsin native. Andreessen grew up in New Lisbon, WI where he graduated from New Lisbon High School before heading to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for college.
Featured on the cover of Time magazine and other publications, Andreessen became a poster-boy of the Web 1.0 bubble generation, and earned millions (or billions) of dollars practically overnight.

According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, 60 million plastic bottles of water are manufactured, transported, then disposed of in U.S. landfills daily. It is a common reality in nations around the world, but a small town in Australia has decided to take a stand, and show the rest of the world how easy it is to make a difference.
