The search for the "2008 Greenest Person on the Planet" continues and is being conducted by 3rdWhale.com, a social media forum and information source for people committed to green living. The unique contest aims to find the one person who makes the most exemplary sustainable lifestyle choices. The contest is the brainchild of 3rdWhale.com founder Boyd Cohen, a sustainability professor in Canada.
Since launching the contest on Earth Day -- April 21, 2008 -- more than 600 "green" citizens from 22 countries have submitted themselves as the "greenest person in the world." Currently, Canada (418), the United States (52), Venezuela (15) and India (11) have the highest number of residents with entries.
Through his research and experience teaching university students how to start environmentally-friendly businesses, Cohen discovered that people are concerned about the environment and the issue of climate change, yet they don't know what they can do to solve the problem. He designed the "Greenest Person on the Planet" contest in order to create dialogue about what it means to live a green lifestyle, and celebrate environmentally-savvy leaders among us.
