Protecting the planet is what drives Jupiter residents David Vogel and Thais Lopez Vogel. The couple launched the VoLo Foundation in 2014 to find a solution to Earth’s ever-growing climate issue. David, a data scientist with international recognition for predictive modeling accuracy, and Thais, a former attorney from Venezuela, work together to ensure future generations have a safe place to live.
Aside from hurricane threats, the Vogels say they have been following Florida’s water quality and the effects of red tide and toxic blue-green algae, all contributing to a higher rate of respiratory issues. They cite that “one out of 10 kids suffer from respiratory disease in Florida due to air pollution.” Thais, a mother of six, says, “The future of my kids is very important to me, and the quality of life for future generations is what we want to preserve.”
