Access
to knowledge with modern communication technology enables global participation
in the race to save the environment and empowers sustainable development.
To be effective in responding to environmental challenges, it is essential
to stop reinventing the wheel. Owing to poorly coordinated efforts, valuable
time and resources are wasted while damage to the environment persists.
The knowledge and technology to prevent further destruction are available,
but they have to be disseminated more efficiently. An electronic Bank
of Ideas, where any interested party may contribute information or thoughts
concerning the environment, can promote an expedient transfer of know-how
that will help to harness pollution and environmental deterioration and
put an end to wasteful and damaging practices. The Bank of Ideas will
not be limited to scholars and experts. Every individual will be invited
to make a contribution and to offer their insight and reflections on bios.
