Heard of connect2earth.org ?Its a initiative driven by WWF,IUCN and Nokia to get everyone to do their part in conserving the environment and the world!! The video above shows you that you don’t need to be a superhero to save the world.
What is it about?
We give you the one, the only, incredibly amazing, astoundingly stunning planet Earth.
It’s all we’ve ever had, and it’s pretty much all we’ve got left.
Yet research shows that we are using our planet’s resources at a faster rate than it can replenish them.
Climate change, deforestation, pollution, you name it. It’s all pretty much down to us and our insatiable appetite as a species.
So what do we do then?
How do we go about ensuring that the world we live on can indeed be lived on; within its means, within its capacity to support us. All of us.
How does it work?
You upload your photos, your videos or your text (a message, a poem, a slogan, a rant) via this web site or your mobile device.
Once your stuff is up, it can be voted and ranked by everyone else coming to this site. Those getting the most votes and the highest overall ranks will win some really cool mobile phones courtesy of Nokia (awarded at the end of each calendar month).
As we get closer to the World Conservation Congress in October 2008, a leading panel of figures will choose from all entries the ones that will be shown to the global gathering in Barcelona.
And from all of those, one person will be invited to come and attend the meeting and speak to the assembled mass of brains and influential brawn.
So now is the time to blow your trumpet, ring a few bells, sound the alarm - c’mon people!
Now’s our chance.
Let’s seize this day!
