This is a very important entry. As every one knows, thanks to us humans the planet is in pretty bad shape. Bush is NOT helping! But simple gestures like this, uniting the world will help. It's a small thing, let's all pitch in and maybe it will have some effect.

While the political/environmental statement is interesting, this isn't really the forum for posting what is in essence spam email. Peer Review is designed to allow the community to evaluate original, well-researched entries for inclusion in the Edited Guide.

This entry, while interesting, doesn't quite fit in with those parameters. It's apparently a cut and paste from an email that has been widely circulating the Internet (I've received several copies already).

If you'd like to discuss this concept with other h2g2 researchers, a good place would be at "Ask h2g2". Click on the "talk" button at the top of the page, and you'll find the link rather easily.

Mikey's right, it IS a good idea (in my opinion) but I'm afraid this material isn't suitable to be part of the Edited Guide, sorry.

However, I would encourage you to write an entry of your own, relating to it - such as on energy efficency/conservation technologies etc, if you are interested in them.

It would never make it into the Edited Guide by June 21st anyway smiley - sadface

But it's a great idea. Maybe we could get the guide people to do one of those front page things 'Contibuting to the guide' on what everyone can do to help the planet. Then we could all make suggestions.

We could... but we've already done something similar at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A418457

Having already seen this email I must agree that this isn't suitable for the edited guide (and its too late anyway now).

Any other scouts want to second this into the sin bin?

I'd 2nd a move to the Writing Workshop. While it may be unlikely that anyone will pick it up and do something with it, I like to reserve the sin bin for people who have broken the rules.

Agreed. And it's now deleted too...

Sorry about that Athena - but rules is rules, you know? But I'd love to see some environmental stuff on h2g2 - the only simple gesture I've been doing to save the planet recently involves my middle finger and Dubya, which possibly isn't hugely prouctive...
