 From the Google blog:

*Google recently partnered with* [*Global SchoolNet*](http://www.globalschoolnet.org/?ref=opendemocracy.net) *to invite teachers and students to use* [*Google Docs & Spreadsheets*](https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=writely&passive=true&continue=http%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2F<mpl=WR%5Ftmp%5F2%5Flfty&nui=1&utm%5Fcampaign=en&utm%5Fsource=en-gwss&utm%5Fmedium=gwss) *collaborative software in a project to brainstorm strategies for combating global warming. Children of all ages from more than 80 schools around the world participated.*

Students from more than 20 countries came up with hundreds of ideas, and the best ones have been compiled on a [Top 50 ideas](http://www.google.com/educators/globalwarming%5Fresults.html?ref=opendemocracy.net) page. They include everything from installing light sensors in schools and offices to giving tax rebates for using solar power. Inspiring, and certainly not hurting Google's informal corporate motto: "don't be evil" (even if some have already [begged to differ](../../../media/google%5F3230.jsp) about my last point).
