DESIGN ME A PLANET 

DESIGN ME A PLANET, "DMAP" is a Think Tank and Do Tank dedicated to find positives long-term scenarios for the planet earth.

The idea appeared in 2008 when Michel Saloff Coste, the founder, being disappointed by  the Copenhagen Summit , wished to propose alternative scenario than the main stream scenario of "business as usual" which possibly damaging for mankind and the planet.

Design Me A Planet is still a small informal organization, which operates on five continents with around 1000 affiliates and links with around 100 others NGO's.

During the last five years DMAP has been involved in the following activities:

·  Developing and studying possible long term positive scenarios

·  Participating in meetings around those subjects.

·  Giving "Planetary Awards"

·  Filming all those activities and developing a trans-media platform to share those activities on Internet.

Last year PBS got interested in the project and proposed to make a serie of television programs under the name "Design Me A Planet on PBS".
