British airline tycoon Richard Branson announced on Friday a $25-million prize for the first person or group to find a way to remove billions of tonnes of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. Go here to find out how to enter the contest!
If only things were that easy. You would think though that someone would have already come up with something like this. This is a good way to get people active, 25 million is alot of money.
It will be interesting to see if a great new idea comes out of this contest. It has some very big minds and wallets, supporting and judging it. I think its a great idea.
The Canadian Government should give the contest a go. This seems as though it's more of a $25 million dollar advertising campaign with good intention - fine by me.
The last self-promotion using the enviornment, I think, was when Prince Charles cancelled his annual ski-trip to Switzerland to avoid aviation pollution. I wonder if the lack of snow in Europe had anything to do with it..
Money is a great incentive. People who might not care about the environment or the future will respond to a price tag.
