Participate in Naming 7 Natural WondersDecember 11, 2007 | 08:06AM
In our high speed lives it’s easy to forget the natural beauty that exists around us. Fiberoptics, iPhones, 156-story buildings in Dubai are impressive, but they’re all humbled by the world’s natural wonders. The New7Wonders, an organization dedicated to creating respect and enthusiasm for the beauty of our planet will host a worldwide contest to name the world’s 7 natural wonders.
The foundation was established by Swiss-Canadian adventurer Bernard Weber in 1999. CNN quotes him as saying, “The closer we bring the beauty of our planet … to the people, the more likely they will say, ‘Oh, we have to do something to conserve it.’” We couldn’t agree more. With more than 300 Million suggestions from more than 6 continents, it looks like it’s going to be an interesting run. You can suggest wonders at their site. Voting will be open in early 2009.
