Amazing: 726 breathless words about a contest without a single link to the website; the URL appears only as plain paragraph text. I wonder how many clicks that cost them?
N.B. As far as I can tell, this is a prize, not an investment, so calling the winners 'entrepreneurs' is a stretch. They appear to be starting a charity, not a company. And charities, while often noble in their intent, are not particularly sustainable; for sustainability, it's hard to beat a profitable company.
To paraphrase H.L. Hunt: if this world is worth saving, it's worth saving at a profit.

I object to dressing it up as saving the world, though, because population growth and world saving ... well, they don't go together too well.
Nice wax warmer idea, though.
