Jeremy Leggett wins US$500,000 Blue Planet Prize
This award is presented by the Asahi Glass Foundation of Japan for outstanding achievement in helping provide solutions to global environmental problems. Jeremy Leggett of the UK, has pioneered the production of solar technology for ordinary households, and now leads the rewilding of vast areas of the Scottish Highlands in tandem with local residents and farmers. His efforts have shown how carbon emissions can be drastically reduced and how such moves can be an excellent money-making investment, not as is sometimes claimed, a drain on the economy.
