“These ideas were all inspiring to read and it was difficult to choose between them. I was particularly glad to see that so many focused on how to educate and engage young people in changing our basic approach to how we live and on training people to think sustainably so they will carry the lessons and come up with their own ideas. This was my main criteria in selecting the winners. Simple individual actions are important and inspiring, but clearly we need a radical re-education of our society to effect change at the speed we need it.”
– Edward Norton speaking about the winners of the “Green Effect” — a contest where five winning green ideas received $20K in funding. To see the winners, please jump here.
