It’s called ‘The Big Green Challenge’ and it’s aimed at reducing climate change by harnessing the ideas of everyday people like you and me who don’t usually have a voice. The contest, held in the United Kingdom, has a prize purse of £1 million, which will be given to the top ten finalists, with the majority going to the winner.

The goal is to reduce carbon emissions by 60 per cent or more, and in order to encourage team work, the submissions must be made by organizations or groups of people.

According to the competition organizers, NESTA, the National Endowment for Science, Technology and Arts:

“We’re facing one of the biggest challenges of our generation - climate change. At NESTA, we believe that encouraging people to work together will help find new ways - better ways - to tackle BIG problems, like reducing CO2 emissions.”
