To celebrate its 10th anniversary, Google had a great idea: Ask individuals if they have ideas that would make the world a better place.

We felt we had a good idea and so we submitted it.  On January 27th, 2009, Google will be asking the public to vote on some of the top suggestions.  Our goal is to be among those chosen.

We really believe in our idea so we thought we’d share it with you all before January rolls around:

Check out this 30 second video that explains the idea.

THE IDEA: Calorie Offsets for a calorie neutral planet

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN:  Calorie Offsets = balancing non-essential nutrient consumption with offsets to get nutrients for undernourished children = a sustainable “calorie neutral” lifestyle.Calorie Offsets

IN OTHER WORDS: Calorie Offsets will attack malnutrition, by far the world’s biggest health issue.
Malnutrition is a problem that concerns poor and rich – too many people do not get enough essential nutrients (undernourished) and too many people overeat non-essential nutrients (obesity).

Undernourished malnutrition is not about rice. It’s a medical emergency that leads every year to 3.5 million deaths in children under five.   There are 178 million children (equal to half the US population) malnourished in the world.

On the flipside, The World Health Organization predicts that obesity will soon replace undernourishment as the most important cause of bad health.  In the US alone between 1971-2000 obesity rates doubled from 14.5% to 30.9%.

Here’s the kicker: we will not solve famine – it’s a complex issue that caused by wars, droughts, and other breakdowns.   Nor will we overcome our love affair with high-calorie treats.   We need a different sustainable solution.  We think that Calorie Offsets might be one of the answers.

Thoughts?

Il y a à peine quatre ans, Howard Dean avait révolutionné la façon de faire campagne en utilisant internet pour ralier ses supporters. Le web a fini par aussi sonner le début de la fin pour Dean avec son fameux cri de victoire publié et redistribué comme étant le vidéo viral de l’heure (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5FzCeV0ZFc). Malgré tout, Dean a ouvert un nouveau monde de possibilités et les campagnes électorales ne seraient plus jamais les mêmes.

En 2008, autant Barack Obama que John McCain ont une importante présence sur le web, avec une avance pour le camp Obama qui marie presqu’à la perfection l’utilisation de Facebook, Twitter, YouTube et Flickr.

Aujourd’hui encore, le camp Obama a démontré son avance et sa vision technologique en lançant l’application pour iPhone Obama ‘08. Les fans d’Obama peuvent en 2 à 3 cliques appeller leurs contacts, présentés par États clés, pour leur rappeller de voter “du bon bord”, s’informer des nouvelles locales en lien avec la campagne, regarder les plus récents clips vidéos d’Obama ou analyser la plateforme de leur chef séparée par thèmes.

Qu’on soit Démocrate, Républicain ou complètement inintéressé, l’application Obama ‘08 est ingénieuse, simple, utile et efficace.
