What if we were to place our responsibilities as planetary citizens above those as national citizens? What would be expected of us, how much of our lives would be different? What does it take to be a good citizen on Planet Earth?
When discussing issues of Climate Change and sustainability, there are huge numbers of avenues for discussion. The topic is massive and essentially impossible to tackle as a whole. So, lets not try. (Our manifesto outlines our approach in a slightly more emotional tone.)
We have limited our discussion to one area, "How can we best reduce our negative impact on our planet?". Furthermore, we have created three possible categories for our responses:
If this project works, we may look to expand things. For now however, we're staying focussed to get the most out of our time.
We require registration primarily to prevent random "comment spam". Registration is easy, you are only required to fill in a valid email address. If you would like to participate in our debate, you can fill out a little more info about your position on climate and sustainabilityi. But, that's all optional. Once you have registered, you can post comments and discuss statements by our "panel of experts" (Yeah right, panel of loud mouths, but that's all politics).
The news feed on this site is pulled from del.ico.us. If you find something that you feel would be worth adding to our feed, tag it with "climatechange" through del.ico.us. Once a day, we'll update our feed and your link will appear. Using Del.ico.us Del.ico.us is a collaborative bookmark system. It allows users to tag urls with simple one word categories. For a better description and step by step guide, you can read del.ico.us's own About page
If you would like to be kept informed about updates on this site, you have two real options. Your best option is to grab our XML feed. You'll need an RSSi aggregator to use this, but it's worth it. If you prefer updates via email, you can turn on your notification settings. You'll find a "My Notify Settings" tab on your "My Account" page. This will allow you to choose what you would like to have emailed to you once a week.
