If you win (as judged by the consensus of informed opinion ;o) ... your solution will be summarily implimented ... resulting in ... peace and brotherhood and harmony among all mankind ... as well as ... fame and fortune for the writer ... and ... there is a distinct possibility ... some centuries from now ... of deification.

Now, that's something to try for!

My entry.

Each individual may:
          - Cast one personal vote
          - Receive votes from others
          - Recast votes received
          - Recall those votes and
             cast them for another.
Votes are given to one, personal acquaintance.
A representative must have at least
twice the votes of any of his electors.
The highest representative rules.

"Ignorant people see life as either existence or non-existence,
but wise men see it beyond both existence and non-existence
to something that transcends them both; this is an observation
of the Middle Way." -Seneca, Roman philosopher

My Solution:

We can not fix the world because it is not broken. I hate to sound terribly cliche but you can't fix something that's not broken. The world may not be perfect but through all of its faults there is life, the ever influential reason to live.

My Solution:

Part One: Harmony: First, get rid of all the extremists. There shall be no more hardcore conservative, liberal, religious, or any such skewed people. Now, while I'm not bashing on or showing any dislike whatsoever for these groups, their removal is crucial because with a world of "moderates" we can disagree but still agree. Thus we have achieved harmony.
Part Two: Collaboration and Teamwork: As cheesey as it sounds, we (the human race) need to work together. Instead of having a European Union, United Nations, NATO, or anything of the like, we need to have a World Treaty. Everybody is friends: no wars, no disagreement and no poverty. This may sound Communist, but equality will be the only way we can get everyone to agree, and when everyone agrees, then we can solve problems together. Thus, any work one group does, contributes to the whole. We progress as humans.

It Comes Together: The point is, weather we end up killing each other, or live on eternally, we have made a decision as a whole, and by having universal agreement, everybody is happy with whatever outcome we may have.

The End.

Ok, so I know I'm way over the word limit, but I would rather get my rampant thoughts out there, and not have my submission considered, instead of being too consise to make any sense.

PS: I know I sound like a Liberal Hippie, but I'm not (and I'm not saying it's a bad thing). So who cares about labels anyways?

In the words of Mister George Carlin...

"We can't even save our selves! HOW THE FUCK DO WE EXPECT TO SAVE THE WORLD?!? The world isn't going anywhere...it's US that are gonna be gone!"  

Sorry to divert from the focus of the topic. I saw a Carlin quote and I decided to follow through on that.

How about we kill all the humans? The animals seemed to have it pretty good before we invented... well... civilisation.

Also, I would remove the minimum word limit, seperate chruch and state, introduce parenting liscences and have Pat Robertson sodomized with a cinderblock.

We need to quickly reduce human population on Earth to a maintain a level of no more than one billion. Attempting to make any solution work in a world so excessively overpopulated is useless and insane.

Don't just sit there,
do something!

That's the most effective way, at least.

Otherwise, I'd eliminate debt, hand out nevirapine to all HIV-carrying pregnant women and wish them luck, and brainwash people into pacifism.

Ta-da!

i'm a rainbow too.

And obviously I'm either a hypocrite or someone who has no interest in saving the world.

My solution:

1.) Don't have one universal alternate fuel source, but several fuel sources, that are dependant on the resources in the particular region.
2.) Have a "United Nations" equivalent for the EPA. A place where the EPA and the environmental agencies from many countries could meet.

Well, that was mainly from an environmental standpoint, but it was a start.
