As the Directors of LAGI<\/a>, Elizabeth Monoian and Robert Ferry, attest:<\/span><\/p>\n

The results of this year\u2019s challenge have risen beyond our expectations and clearly point us in a positive direction toward a sustainable future. Rather than despair about the havoc that human activity has already wrought on our planet, we can instead unite behind the manifestation of beautiful ideas such as these that reflect an emerging human culture of environmental stewardship.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As we embark upon the great energy transition, let\u2019s leave a legacy for future generations\u2014destinations where our children\u2019s children can reflect upon this important time in human history by experiencing the most artful applications of the technologies humans have invented to solve the climate crisis.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
