[aha] Planetary Pledge Pyramid - Game Show

[T_Bazz]

THE WORLD’S BIGGEST GAME SHOW – AN ALTERNATIVE TO COP15

Planetary Pledge Pyramid is a platform for people’s own ideas to save 
the planet – ideas that they are willing to realize and back up with 
hard cash.

On the 18th of December at the Klimaforum09 (Peoples’ Climate Summit), 
during COP15, it all culminates in the biggest and most important game 
show of all time. Via Facebook and live televised talk shows, Planetary 
Pledge Pyramid engages citizens of the world to actively join the 
climate discussion. All participants are encouraged to recruit new 
participants and to pledge 10$ to the winning idea. In a final, 
spectacular game show, “Who Wants to Be…? A Special End of the World 
Edition”, everyone will decide how to spend the money saving the planet.

Planetary Pledge Pyramid gives people a new way of making global 
decisions and financing them with real money. The project takes web 2.0 
to a new level, because not only is it possible to support a good cause 
and spread the word through your network. Now, you can also help 
formulate the idea and realize it.
