About this project

We're starting a pyramid scheme to save the planet.

All the money pledged gets spent on ideas you choose. Pledge $10, and you get to vote online in a live, streamed game-show at the Climate Forum in Copenhagen on 18th December!

Anyone can propose ideas, and vote on the best ones. You can start by proposing ideas on Facebook, or if you prefer, you can add ideas via Uservoice. The top ideas will go through to the final show.

Recruit people! It's a pyramid scheme, that's how it works. Imagination and the amount of money raised are the only limits to what can be achieved. So please invite more people, more ideas and more cash! Spread it on Facebook, twitter, myspace, digg, or del.icio.us,

FAQ!

Where/when is the live show taking place?

The show is at 7pm Copenhagen time (10:30am PST / 6pm GMT) at DGI-byen. Details of how to get there are on the Climate Forum website.

How will I connect to the live stream?

For people who have pledged, we will send you a super secret web address closer to the time where you will be able to watch the live stream, join the discussion and, of course, vote!

Why are you doing this?

For a number of reasons. You can see a video of two of us talking about some of those on the rethink climate site.

Why should I get involved?

Because it is going to be a lot of fun! You can get an idea about what the final show will look like by watching this recent video.

How does pledging and payment work?

From the kickstarter guide:

"Amazon processes all pledges. If you have an Amazon.com account it's a snap. if you don't, it's like two snaps. Your card will not be charged now. Pledges are collected at the end of funding only if the funding goal is reached. You can easily adjust or cancel your pledge anytime before funding ends. The People Speak is wholly responsible for completing this project as described. If you have any questions/concerns, please contact The People Speak directly via the "Send Message" button on any project page."

If you're not using any of our money to put the show on, how are you doing this?

We have some amazing partners and friends who are helping us! Aarhus University's Digital Urban Living programme, and Digital Aesthetics Research Center, Tekne Production, and the wonderful Mikrogalleriet in Copenhagen, the Rethink Climate project and the Alexandra Institute, Justin TV and Uservoice.com.
