I've had this idea for awhile....

Basically, living in a big city with many visitors, why not use tourists as a way to spread environmental awareness?
Even something as simple as a flyer to hand out or post around the city could make a difference. People could go back to their little hometowns, newly enlightened, and spread that knowledge where we can't.
Unfortunately I'm loaded down with schoolwork and I don't have the time to put into that sort of thing, but maybe with some help....

For those who truly express interest in your message, you can give them a flyer printed on 100% recycled paper... won't necessarily get rid of the litter problem, but should minimize the impact while still getting the word out there!
I live in Vegas, actually. Endless numbers of tourists here.
That's a good idea. I just wonder how I would be able to carry that out without wasting paper (as the other comment says).
I live in Chitwan, a district of Nepal. Here are many visiting sites (particularly natural scenaries) to allure tourists (both domestic and foreigner). Definitely, the information given to them makes some differences as the matter perceived by crowd is disseminated to the hometowns related to the individual fellows of the crowd. But there are many households who just don't know how their petty household performances are wrecking havoc regarding global warming. I think, any activities should be just directed and started from the baseline. Won't it more effective than the former one? As we know the matter of alleviating global warning is a subject of welfare, it's perception by general public can only be expected when they are contented with their daily requirements. Moreover, change never appears at once magically, it's a spontaneous process and it starts right from the individuals- from us, from base! Let us give our hands.
Starting at home and in your local community is the best place to increase awareness of the problem. Going to the government with the message is probably the only way to get sweeping changes moving. The trick there is getting enough supporters behind you to stir government to action!
We must all take ACTION to get past global warming. It is a crisis that will not eliminate itself!
...well, not in our favor anyway.
