Gift Card Challenge: Face The Future

Let's face it, the planet is a mess. There are wars raging on many continents. Pollution is piling up. Resources grow more scarce while human beings grow, shall we say, more abundant. The globe is heating up. The polar ice caps are melting. Fish stocks are down. Many of the 7 billion or so people on the planet don't have enough food, shelter or clean drinking water. Many animal and plant species are on the verge of extinction. Systems of government in many nations are corrupt, lawless or just plain non-existent. Education systems are lacking in many nations. Human rights are often pitted against the needs of the state or economy. Corporate entities, like the governments they work with, lack oversight by the law. Humanity seems to lack a sense of social responsibility and maybe even a collective identity. Maybe you can probably think of other problems. What can any one person do?

Here's the challenge: If you were a person with great political and economic resources under your control, such as the President or a board member of a multinational corporation, what problem would you choose to address first? How would you address the problem?

That's it. Fill in your answer to the challenge below. Your answer can be as long as you like. THERE ARE PRIZES FOR THE BEST ANSWERS! First prize will be a $50.00 gift certificate from Amazon.com so you can buy cool, green books and things like those listed on the GreenSpeech.org web site. Second prize will be a $30.00 gift certificate from AllPosters.com so you can get some nice artwork like that listed on the GreenSpeech.org web site. Third prize will be an autographed copy of the GreenSpeech featured book " The Presidents Of The Future 1993-2033" so you can see if global leadership will ever have the chance to put your winning idea into action!

Entries will be accepted through June 21, 2009. GreenSpeech reserves the right to post all entries on the GreenSpeech.org web site. Your email address will not be released without your permission, but if GreenSpeech publishes your entry then we will give you credit by publishing your name with your entry, if you want us to.

So that's the challenge and those are the rules. We look forward to your solutions (and personally, we think you can do the job!)
