Sophie Prize

The Sophie Prize was an international environment and development prize (USD 100,000) awarded annually from 1998 to 2013. It was established in 1997 by the Norwegian author Jostein Gaarder and his wife Siri Dannevig, and is named after Gaarder's novel Sophie's World. It aimed to recognize individuals or organizations working with the environment and sustainable development. In 2013, representatives announced that the prize would not be awarded any longer due to a lack of funds.[1]

gollark: LB?
gollark: I had a Wileyfox Swift with that (dead because of the USB port thing), but they're no longer sold and I don't think replacement parts exist either.
gollark: Hmm, I think I actually know someone with one of those still.
gollark: Does anyone know of phones with removable batteries (and good availability of said batteries), no notch, an LCD (not OLED) screen, a μSD card slot, decent battery life, and some custom ROM support, which is still produced or fairly available used? Do any even exist now?!
gollark: Since my current device doesn't have a replaceable battery, and is becoming increasingly less usable, I don't know *what* I'll replace it with which won't break in the same ways.
