On Wednesday June 2nd, we will announce the winner of the 2010 Buckminster Fuller Challenge, at The National Press Club at 12 p.m. The Challenge is the world's only large prize program rewarding integrated, whole-systems approaches to solving the world’s sustainability crises. The winner will receive a $100,000 prize to support the development and implementation of their strategy to solve humanity's complex and entrenched problems.
