It’s impossible really to communicate how inspiring it was to be in the august Stockholm City Hall and receive the full-on Nobel Prize treatment, but maybe this picture of Mervin Jarman, one of the Education winners for his excellent Container Project, gives you some idea. You can find a full list if the winning projects here.
World Without Oil did very well in the Challenge, bringing home a Special Mention (i.e., it was a runner-up) in the Environment category. The Environment winner is the World Weather Information Service, a global source for free, updated weather information based in Hong Kong. A vitally necessary service indeed in a food-challenged, climate-changed world.

Yes, this must have been a truly heartening event to participate (and be celebrated!) in.
I wish we would play scenes like this as many times over on national TV as we do disasters.
Well I posted World Without Oil on “green wiki” http://www.creativecitizen.com in the spirit of “Don’t hate the media, become the media” (a great Indymedia sticker that I’ve enjoyed for years and it’s always an important reminder to not sink into thinking; what “They” do).
Let’s spread these human spirit triumphs far & wide!
