CNN and YouTube want to know: What's your answer to The Davos Question?

[thatcrazycajun]

First Cable News Network and YouTube used their world-leading tech to allow viewers to weigh in with questions at the Presidential debates. Now they're doing it again to give video bloggers a seat at the table in Davos, Switzerland for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum. Footage from activists, ordinary viewers and celebrities is being solicited to answer this question:

"What one thing do you think that countries, companies or individuals must do to make the world a better place in 2008?"

The sales pitch is that the global political/economic leaders convening in the Alps will actually be shown these and respond. I have to think some about the question myself before answering; I'm not at all sure there is any one thing that can take precedence, so many and complex are the problems our tired old globe faces these days. If you think you've got an answer already, find out more at the Davos Question website...and if you don't feel like making a video for yours or can't, you can always post it in good old-fashioned text here.

Get women educated and employed, in good jobs that pay living wages at least. Not only does that expand the available workforce, it also leads to better food, health care, security and education for their families, and incidentally also to smaller families. Since population growth fuels environmental catastrophe, smaller families can help us conserve energy and resources while polluting less and scaling back global warming.
