“Earthshot” Prize a Nod To Kennedy’s Moonshot

From this piece in the New York Times:

The Earthshot Prize, an independent charity that was recently broken off from William and Catherine’s Royal Foundation, awards 1 million British pounds, or about $1.2 million, to each of five winners, one in each of the prize categories: nature conservation and protection, air quality, ocean revival, waste-free living and climate action.

The categories seem well-chosen to me, though any of a couple of different frameworks would have been equally valid: clean energy, clean transportation, sustainable agriculture, etc.
