The Awards were presented by Michael W. Sarasin of Ricoh and RSDA Judging Leader Tim Mohin (Intel.) For more information about the winners, their projects, and the Ricoh Sustainable Development Award, please download the PDF document below. (PDF) (PDF) Winner of Ricoh Digital Camera Congratulations to Daniel Rodrigues of Lakeland High School, Shrub Oak, NY. He has won the drawing for a Ricoh Caplio GX Digital Camera. Daniel is a regional ISEF winner of the Ricoh Sustainable Development Award. His project is titled – A Momentum Exchange Tether for the Mitigation of Geosynchronous Space Debris. Dear Finalists of the Intel ISEF 2006: All of us at the Ricoh Group believe the talents and ambitions of young people are among society's most valuable resources, and as such they need to be cultivated and developed in order to sustain our civilization into the next generation and beyond. We feel just as strongly about the resources of our planet. For hundreds of thousands of years, our planet's resources have sustained an almost infinite variety of life forms, as well as supported a broad range of mankind's activities. Now, human pursuits adversely impact our planet's life sustaining abilities more than ever. If left unchecked, such activities pose a tangible threat not only to our coexistence with other life forms, but also to future generations of the human race.

This definition was created in 1987 at the World Commission on Environment and Development (the Brundtland Commission). It is enshrined in the Swiss federal constitution.
