The Greenest Person on the Planet Finalists
If you're like me and have just crawled out from beneath a large rock you probably won't be au fait with the whole "Greenest Person on the Planet" competition that's currently running via 3rdWhale.com. How I missed this, I'm not sure but the comp has now entered the final stage with 5 nominees vying for the winner's podium.
A little background: the competition is the brainchild of BelugaBoyd (aka Boyd Cohen) 3rdWhale's founder and resident spruiker for all things green. It started on Earth Day earlier this year in the quest to find the world's greenest person and will end September 16.
It's an intriguing contest - not to mention the bizarre prize (an entire Arctie pod of Beluga whales become adopted with the winner's name) - in that it aims to highlight the amazing efforts that some people go to in order to make our planet a little healthier. 600 hopefuls from around the world started the journey with the numbers now being whittled down to the remaining 5.
So, now it's up to you and I to vote for the Greenest Person on the Planet. Voting link [closed].

Wow, that is an odd prize. I suppose it's more the title than anything?

Thanks for talking about the competition. You will be happy to know we are now offering a more impactful prize too. The winner gets to decide how we allocate 5% of our profits for the year until next year's winner is determined! While we don't have profits yet, we are starting to get interest from advertisers and sponsors and we also just started selling a bamboo Tshirt about the competition and $2 from every shirt sold will go the winner's charity of choice!

Awesome idea BelugaBoyd and it was my pleasure to write about it. I hope it gains more traction in the mainstream so that we see future contestants display incredibly novel ways of impacting our environment.
I like the idea of the profit sharing prize also.
