I don’t want to protest, because I realized that protesting is a form of confrontation, I rather create and build something useful for the community to persuade them through the reason...that's my bottom line, my aim.

The idea:
Build a replica of the Noah’s ark, as an analogy with the global-warming problem that is affecting the Earth. The Ark will be the first floating museum dedicated to the history and conservation of the Earth and the first floating show made in Melbourne to create conscience around Australia and the world about the causes and effects of this problem.
Objectives:
* Build the first floating museum dedicated to the conservation of the Earth.
* Create an icon that represents the spirit of Melbourne: Global, Friendly, Ecologic, and Multicultural.
* Work directly with the Federal Government to promote their educational campaigns such as
“cool it”.
* Develop an attractive and friendly educational strategy for the Australian people.
* Engage and educate the Australian public about the Global warming problem and how they can contribute to solve it.
* Develop a self-sustainable business capable to pay the investment and to generate profits for the Australian and Victorian natural cause in a relatively short term period.
* Sail to different cities of Australia with a show “Made in Melbourne”.
My Vision:
The Ark:
I imagine a huge tourist attraction “made in Melbourne” and capable to travel around the globe. The first floating museum in the world; a unique cultural icon; an educative boat created to show the public about the history and conservation of our planet.
The ark will be divided in three levels:
1- The first level is the base and it will be an introduction of the origins of the Earth through the legend of the Noah’s ark. In this level we will find all sort of dissected animals in pair, just like in the biblical legend. Every cage will have a couple of animal’s specie with a brief story of them.
2- The second level will be a museum of the Earth dedicated exclusively to the scientific history of our planet. We'll show movies, pictures, documents and we will learn more about our planet in an interactive travel through its origins and history.
3- The third level will be a museum of the conservation of the Earth, in this level the exhibition will show the state of the Earth today. And the aim will be to impact the visitors in order to create conscience about the magnitude of the problem. We want to educate them to feel compromise with the cause and take effective actions about the problem.
Our Philosophy:
* Ecologic
* Environmentally friendly in all its concept.
* Familiar and Educative
* Self-Sustainable business.
My Mission:
* To spread the voice about the idea, to find friends, potential supporters, sponsors and investors for the cause.
* To create a self-sustainable yet non-profit business.
* Deliver a message about the global warming and their effects over the planet.
* Inspire, Educate and engage people with the cause.
Our Challenge:
There is a lot of information available about global warming and the climate change in general; there are movies, books, national and global campaigns and websites. But how can we catch the interest of the public opinion? How can we motivate them to take action over the problem?; Our challenge consist in to attract the public in a friendly and educative way, create conscience and put all that information in their hands.
