What a Great Idea!

Thoughts on using problem solving and applied creativity techniques to promote social change. I'll be offering some of my own project ideas as well.

Scientific Tracts

I was thinking about religious tracts, when this obvious idea hit me. You've probably seen those little booklets that contain religious messages contained in a mix of text and cartoons. Well, why should the religious have a lock on this means of communication?


Why not use tracts to promote science, logic, reason, humanism, and other worthy things. Use simple text and cartoons to make one point. A religious tract is written to convince you that you should accept Jesus Christ as your savior. A "scientific" tract could be written to convince people that global climate change is really happening, or to convince people to do something specific about the issue.
