Global Broadcast for GROE Environment Challenge results
Today marks the end of the Greatest Race on Earth 2007/08 Environment Challenge
, our unique initiative designed to encourage individuals to pledge to make
small changes in their lives that will help make a difference to the future
of this planet.
It is only 5 weeks ago that we were celebrating hitting 1 million pledges.
The Environment Challenge closed on Monday 17th March, with the online total
standing at just over 2.2 million. However, once all the paper pledges were
added to the online total, our final total of pledges was a fantastic
3.4 million. Thank you to everyone who made a pledge or spoke to families
and friends about making a pledge.
This number of pledges equates to the following potential savings:
7,973,381,200 litres of water - that's the same as 3189 Olympic swimming pools
119,514 tonnes of CO2, which equates to filling Sydney Opera House 2517 times
69,767,568 plastic bags saved from being sent to landfill
378,311 trees saved from being cut down
Winning countries
The three nations that generated the most environmental pledges per capita,
and will consequently share the USD 1 million donation to WWF are:
First place (USD 500,000) - Brunei
Second Place (USD 350,000) - Taiwan
Third Place (USD 150,000) - Hong Kong
Projects such as the iconic Heart of Borneo - projects that will make a real
difference to the environment, and to the lives of the people who depend on it
- will benefit from the donation.
The countries that generated the most pledges per capita across each region
were:
South East Asia - Brunei
North East Asia - Taiwan
Middle East and South Asia - Lebanon
Africa - Botswana
UK/Europe - Jersey
Americas - Peru
