Inspired by their eco-minded children, locals David Vogel and Thais Lopez Vogel are addressing climate change through their VoLo Foundation.
David Vogel and his wife, Thais Lopez Vogel, share a passion for protecting the environment that was sparked almost two decades ago by their blended brood of children. “I remember when my oldest daughter was 7 years old, she was crying in the corner one Fourth of July because she said the fireworks were killing the polar bears,” recalls Thais. The Venezuelan native had met David in 2005 when they were both living in Orlando, and the two married in 2007, merging their collective four children from previous marriages into a family unit.
