This is the third year of the World Challenge, brought to you by BBC World and Newsweek in association with Shell, and the 12 finalists have been named. Voting is open now through November 16, with the winner being announced on December 4.
The winning project will receive $20,000 from Shell to benefit its cause. The difference between this project and similar initiatives such as the American Express Members Project is that the World Challenge is recognizing and funding established projects that are already making a difference in the community instead of concepts that can make a difference.
The finalists are spread around the world from South America to Asia, and range in scope of work from sustainable energy for cooking to reforestation to using recycled products in fashion. While Earth 911 does not endorse any of these projects over another, there is no cost to vote so you may want to check out the finalists.
