" 
What if reporting an environmental problem was as simple as sending a message?
What if the world knew about every environmental problem and we were taking action together?
What if we were rewarded for doing good?
This is the World Environment Action, w-e-a.org
TAKE ACTION
" 
We are now looking for developers and tech-savvy environmental activists -> Volunteers !? Get in touch.

World Environment Action, Concept draft

April 21, 2010

 
Dear fellows, TEDsters around the world.
It's Cesar Harada TED Fellow 2010 Long Beach. Right now I am at the IHub in the vibrant Nairobi Kenya, building the prototype of the World Environment Action (WEA) website (soon on-line). The idea is to "Puts every local initiative and its global impact on the same map". Based on Ushahidi, we want to create a powerful crowd-sourcing database to empower the transformation of the United Nation Environmental Program (UNEP) based here in Nairobi, into the the World Environment Organization (WEO, that doesn't exist yet) and re-think global environmental governance in a more distributed and efficient way, a bottom up approach, for people, for nature.
 
I just made the concept video draft above, it is very sketchy : I NEED YOUR FEEDBACK -> PLEASE COMMENT. 
I am not presenting you something finished, I want to know how you feel about the idea, the system, the interface, your comments will greatly shape the proposal.
You can also flick through the slideshow on the original google docs right here : http://tinyurl.com/WEO-nairobi 
In about 10 days I will present a more detailed proposal, a mockup and a business plan to the head of the UNDP and at the UNEP. I need the sharpness and creativity of the TED community to put together "IDEAS WORTH SPREADING", for a purpose. 
Thank you very much for your time.
