It was mentioned here before, but this is not the first $1,000,000 reward offered by Smith: "So today I am announcing Dick Smith’s Wilberforce Award – $1 million to go to a young person under 30 who can impress me by becoming famous through his or her ability to show leadership in communicating an alternative to our population and consumption growth-obsessed economy." (http://dicksmithpopulation.com/wilberforce-award/) ____________________________________________________________________ He seems to have a genuine interest in philanthropy and the betterment of mankind. Or he seems hell-bent on killing off 3/4 of the population so we don't need to consume as much... Just depends on your point-of-view
