Call For Proposals 2009 » Nuclear Morality Flowchart

Describe your idea:

Nuclearmorality.com (as featured in Peace News, July/August supplement) uses a decision flowchart to enable people to see for themselves their moral responsibility for nuclear weapons and to challenge governments to do the same. It’s inescapable logic. Next step is a popular decision process in all sectors of civil society. Crucial to this will be an on-line interactive format for anyone to work out and log their own solution, making possible a global scorecard of opinion. We expect a highly rational and hence powerful response from people here and around the world for whom it is unacceptable that a few rich countries should endanger the Earth for the sake of their own security.

What problem does it solve?:

The objective is to change the nuclear mindset which endangers the whole world. There are still approximately 27,000 warheads extant and enough actually deployed to cause irrecoverable devastation. We see increased risks of proliferation and a frightening lack of awareness of the dangers. But right now, with negotiations underway for very cautious strategic arms reductions (START), we have ’senior’ politicians around the world (Kissinger et al) calling for nothing less than abolition. Now is the time for decisive intervention of public opinion to support this momentum towards a much safer world.

Type of idea: New feature for an existing project
