Clear Shores

Generation Z people are capable of more than the stereotype. Some don't primarily look for safe spaces and an easy life but instead stretch themselves, like this trio of teenagers.

Located in a region of lakeshore homes, they saw opportunity for a service business. Lakeshore property is highly desirable (and expensive), but it comes with the challenge of keeping that shore beautiful so that it can be fully enjoyed.

Similar to the show "Shark Tank," a competition of business concepts was held at their high school.  They researched the problem, came up with a business plan, and submitted the winning entry. Then they actually did it. Clear Shores LLC was created in 2021. 

To combat a weed-choked shoreline, it's best to avoid chemicals or mechanical chopping. If the weed stays in the water, dead, then it decays there. The best solution is to manually pull out the weed along with its roots.

That's their plan. They put on wet suits, pull weeds by hand, and bring them to a mulching business where weeds are put to good use.
