Create, Share and Change the world
Attention Facebook, MySpace or You Tube users, here’s a new site that allows you to upload videos, pictures and comments about the environment and by doing so you can win a phone every month.
The site - Connect2Earth (http://www.connect2earth.org)
How does it work? Users will upload their photos, videos or text (a message, a poem, a slogan, a rant) via Connect2Earth or mobile device. Users can upload everything that makes up our surroundings and affects our ability to live on the Earth. It is about the inter-relationship that exists between water, air and land and all living things.
Once the user’s stuff is up, it can be voted and ranked by everyone else visiting the 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 the World Conservation Congress get closer 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.
Connect2Earth is a partnership among WWF (World Wildlife Fund), the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and Nokia.
Have Fun!
