Treasure The Earth: Call for Participation
Weeks after the devastating South Asian tsunami, the news continues to be of abnormal weather conditions afflicting the globe: violent storms, excessive snowfalls, yet more natural disasters.
Icograda and IdN are pleased to invite the members of Icograda’s member associations to submit work for a new collaboration. Your perspective as to "Why save the World?" can be expressed in any desirable platforms: including photographs, vectors, sketches, paintings and extending to products, animations or simply in words.
All contributions are highly valued and appreciated; as collectively for the bigger course to make a difference.

You can also read his blog at http://boards.core77.com/viewtopic.php?t=3129.
