Semi-Finalist Evaluation

Judges'' comments


Proposal: Kitsilano's Land Plan Contest: Consumption of Products & Services 2014 Thank you for your contest entry. We appreciate your willingness to share your ideas and also the time and effort you put into developing a proposal and submitting it to the contest. We have reviewed your proposal and found that it contained intriguing elements; however, have chosen not to advance it to the next round of competition. We encourage you to keep developing your idea. Transfer your proposal to a Workspace to re-open it, make edits, add collaborators, and even submit it into a future contest. You can do so by logging into your account, opening your proposal, selecting the Admin tab, and clicking "Move proposal". We welcome you to stay involved in the Climate CoLab community: support and comment on proposals that have been named Finalists, and vote during the public voting period to help select the contest’s Popular Choice Winner. Climate CoLab will be opening more contests throughout the year and you are welcome to submit your proposal to those contests as well. Keep up the great work. We hope that by working together, we all can create solutions that wouldn't otherwise be possible. Sincerely, Contest Fellows If there are additional comments from the Judges & Fellows, they will be included below.

Your proposal, while interesting in itself, does not address the actual contest prompt. Even though population growth is a major factor that affects consumption and climate, there is not much that can be done right now to stop it. Research suggests that population growth is already decreasing and that the human population will reach its peak in less than 50 years.
Many developed countries, which have the highest consumption already have negative population growth. The problem is thus not the population itself, but the consumption per capita.
