“Does humanity have a chance to survive lastingly and successfully on planet Earth, and if so, how?”
– Buckminster Fuller

The Buckminster Fuller Institute begins accepting submissions for its Buckminster Fuller Challenge today through October 30th, 2007.
…seeks submissions of design science solutions within a broad range of human endeavor that exemplify the trimtab principle. Trimtabs demonstrate how small amounts of energy and resources precisely applied at the right time and place can produce maximum advantageous change.
The institute is founded on the inspiring works of the great humanist Buckminster Fuller, who designed the geodesic dome and devoted his life to sustainable solutions for the human race’s continued existence.
