Pre-existing networks should be used to achieve an awareness
of the global commons.
This needs to be done through a
self-replicating viral process.
A few ideas and campaigns
have already been proposed, though not yet fully developed.
“Who owns the arctic?” – a real estate advertisement for
property in the arctic will be published in online magazines
and newspapers. We will direct people to a website where
people can learn more about this apparently scandalous offer,
only to find that the arctic is declared a global common good.
“Who owns the sky?” – Plant-for-the-Planet – In 2007, with
the pledge of nine year old Felix Finkbeiner and his classmates
to support the UNEP One Million Tree Campaign the
Plant-for- the-Planet Initiative was born. More than 200,000
trees have been planted since then. Felix, voted as member
of the UNEP Children’s Board, and his friends advocate for
the sky to be named as a global common good by asking
“Who owns the sky?” Furthermore, each tree that they plant
represents climate justice.
This is how they can get involved.
