Earth Portals' Think Tank

• Can we use the internet to solve world problems?
• Does being exposed to thinking from around the world lend itself to planetary cooperation and world peace?
• Does the virtual world of the internet have any relationship to the real 3-D world we live in?

These questions are tantamount to understanding our new found abilities to express our ideas on a global scale through the world wide web. Here are web sites encouraging new ways of thinking. It is up to all of us to apply this wisdom to our home planet, and to our own sense of purpose and responsibility as global citizens.
