Cornell grad dreams big with small change

摘要

Nathaniel Steele is a freshly minted Ivy League grad, smart, eager and flush with entrepreneurial fever. He's got an idea that he figures will make him a fortune, help fund the country's charities and save the environment - all at the same time. Before you marvel at the idealism of youth, consider that while this 22-year-old is thinking big -really big - his plan involves almost the smallest of small change. "We're working to give the nickel value again," says Steele, a native of Syracuse, N.Y., who earned his communications degree from Cornell in May.
