Sixteen year old self-taught coder Nicholas Rubin created Greenhouse, a free browser extension that displays on any web page a detailed breakdown of campaign contributions for every Senator and Representative. It "puts vital data where it's most relevant so you can discover the real impact of money on our political system."

The Greenhouse motto signifies that the influence of money in politics isn’t a partisan issue. Rubin hopes "that providing increased transparency around the amount and source of funding of our elected representatives may play a small role in educating citizens and promoting change."
