The young inventors want to maintain the environment, the prize money is just a bonus. Three winners may have been declared but the ideas for green improvements was at a very high standard.

Build a virtual town on these applications and claim reward points to use on your town by helping the environment. So the champion is GREEN! Besides Green Innovation Awards there were 9 Green Toronto Awards announced; for Community Projects Award, Energy Conservation Award, Environmental Awareness Award and six others. There was prize money of $5,000 to every one of the finalists which they shared with a charity of their own choosing. Post written by Julie Kinnear, Toronto Royal LePage
