Wening Pranaya and Vania Santoso, alias Bright Youngsters, won the first prize in this year's Volvo-UNEP Adventure Award for their project Useful Waste for a Better Future. The 15-year old teenagers from Surabaya, Indonesia received an award of $10,000 in Gothenburg.
[url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/peuterey.php]peuterey outlet[/url] Useful Waste for a Better Future is a project that not only removes garbage but also recycles it into sustainable souvenirs and gifts with the extra advantage of adding value and helping overcome poverty. There were a total of 365 projects submitted from 47 countries around the globe. The second prize winner was from New Zealand and won $6,000. The third prize winner was from South Africa and took bagged $4,000 as the prize.
Theodore Oben of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), which is the official Volvo Adventure partner, said, "The standard goes up and up each and every year. This year [url=http://www.maximoupgrade.com/hot.php]hollister[/url] Useful Waste for a Better Future is a project that works on many environmental levels including waste reduction, [url=http://www.sandvikfw.net/shopuk.php]hollister sale[/url] recycling and revenue-earning. As such, it was the outstanding project amongst 15 excellent finalists."
Two years ago, Indonesia was given the undesirable title of the [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/moncler.php]moncler outlet[/url] dirtiest country in the world [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/woolrich.php]woolrich bologna[/url] by the World Health Organization, but the students from Surabaya have helped turn the tables by winning the prestigious Volvo Adventure World Final.
A jubilant Santoso said, "Whilst it was a stain on Indonesia's reputation being branded the dirtiest nation in the world by WHO, it was also a [url=http://www.mquin.com/giuseppezanotti.php]giuseppe zanotti pas cher[/url] wake-up call that something had to be done and in our small way, we may have helped both change perceptions and improve our local environment and economy."
"It has been an amazing experience coming to Gothenburg and being encouraged by how many other students are as passionate about the environment as we are and it is a great honor to win, especially against so many other powerful projects," Pranayadipta added.
"The pride and the passion all these students have for their own local environment and the wider global picture is highly encouraging and in fact they are all winners," said Olle Axelson, the Senior Vice President for Public Affairs of Volvo Cars. "But the big winner here is the environment itself, and facing so many challenges on so many fronts, the creativity and dedication of these young people convinces me that the environment is being passed into safe and responsible hands."
For the first time in the history of the Volvo Adventure, all three podium places went to all-female teams. "I don't think we can read too much into that, other than [url=http://www.thehygienerevolution.com/barbour.php]barbour paris[/url] to celebrate the diversity and equality evident on the Volvo Adventure and to note that the [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/louboutin.php]louboutin pas cher[/url] winning projects all adopted a holistic approach to [url=http://www.davidhabchy.com]barbour outlet[/url] environmental sustainability," stressed Siw Persson of WWF, a jury member.
"Projects are already underway all round the world for the seventh annual Volvo Adventure and the closing date for entries is 31st January 2008. Such has been the response that we [url=http://www.sandvikfw.net/shopuk.php]hollister outlet sale[/url] are [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/peuterey.php]peuterey[/url] changing the age range for entries to 13 to 16-years-old and introducing a fun-based environment education initiative for kids on 12 and under," said Kikki Hugestrand, the Volvo Adventure Project Manager.
She added, "The Volvo Adventure has become a fixture in the environmental calendar and a key component in expressing Volvo's passion for and commitment to the environment, whilst for the students, it [url=http://www.thehygienerevolution.com/barbour.php]barbour[/url] is an educational, environmental and cultural experience that will stand them in good stead for the rest of their lives."
Like the luminous , the activity is aimed at illuminating the world about the value of clean environment and the need for people to take measures to help attain the goal.
