PIE-IN-THE-SKY Contest for Budding Geoengineers

ETC Group wants to know your wackiest idea for a climate change techno-fix: Pies in the sky? Global whitewash? Making mountains out of molehills (to block out the sun)? The DIY geo-engineer who submits the most creative, original and ludicrous scheme containing a nano-shred of logic, if no plausibility will be deemed the winner. Your winning idea will be illustrated, posted on our web site (www.etcgroup.org), sent to you and distributed far and wide. The deadline is no surprise April Fools' Day (1st April 2009). Send an explanation of your geo-engineering scheme-or DESCRIBE IT HERE IN A YOUTUBE VIDEO (please make sure to reference "Pie in the Sky Contest" in the video title so we can find it), including how it would combat the effects of climate change. Please notify us of your entry at geoengineer@etcgroup.org.

Entries can be submitted by email (200 word or less please, or POSTED HERE on YOUTUBE) in English, Spanish, French or Portuguese.
