The competition for the green innovation award has reached its completion and declares three prizewinners. Mayor David Miller, Deputy Mayor Joe Pantalone and CityNews Meteorologist Michael Kuss reported the best green innovators on April 23 during the Green Living Show at the Direct Energy Centre, Exhibition Place. The prize of $50,000 was split between the winners and they each received the coveted Green Toronto Award.
However, it was not the award to drive the young scientist and innovators, but the endeavor to help our environment. All the finalists offered exciting green resolutions and improvements. Since the idea was to give real solutions, most of the projects were affordable and easily applicable, so one day you may see them applied also in your neighbourhood, or in your own property.
Below are the top three winners:
* Olivier Trescases, PhD and Chris Lea, with Green Gym: An exercise gymnasium that is specially built to use energy and send it to the grid.
* Sarah Lazarovic and her submission GreenHouseTO; For those Toronto individuals that are interested in Toronto buildings comes a useful web and mobile renovation application.
* Robert Kori Golding, for his submission My Green City: For people that like gaming on the iPhone or Facebook Assemble a virtual town on these applications/games and claim reward points to use on your town by supporting the environment.
So the winner is GREEN!
Community Projects Award, Energy Conservation Award, Environmental Awareness Award and 6 more prizes, were given out: as well as these prizes. There was award money of $5,000 to all of the finalists which they shared with a charity of their own choosing.
