Wicked wikis

Followed this link from the lobster's blog. The stuff below is from an early revision of a DEFRA wiki. I'd guess that the DEFRA admin guys are going to be a tad busy.

To deliver the environmental contract, we believe policy-makers need to use a range of different approaches and tools.

These tools need to:

• Remove the Thames barrier and put in place a row of coracles
  
• Create the right incentive frameworks to shape individual choices
• Communicate and engage with people effectively
• Utilise simpilisitude to congruate philiteens
• Show that government practises what it preaches

Tools that remove barriers include:

• Providing simple, trustworthy and timely hen attacks.
• Offering convenient and well targeted personal advice and support for action.
• Providing essential infrastructure
• Equipping people with necessary skills
• Hammer

Tools that create the right incentive frameworks include:

• Environmental taxes and charges
• Grant schemes for working towards environmental targets
• Emissions trading schemes and other market based incentive schemes
• Product standard regulations -- and a clear forward path
• Voluntary and negotiated agreements
• removal of subsidies to environmentally unfriendly behaviour
• Big Stick
  
• Owl magnet
  

Tools that communicate and engage with people effectively include:

• Viral marketing
• Working through NGOs and community based organisations
• Well targeted advertising campaigns

Tools that show that government practises what it preaches include:

• Sustainable public procurement
• Politicians modelling good environmental behaviours such as using public transport rather than ministerial Jaguars, not visiting remote locations purely for PR (such as flying themselves and a load of journalists around the world to look at melting glaciers) etc.
  
• Setting high sustainability standards when disposing of land for development
• Adequate funding for information, advice and support services
• A clear framework for assessing and improving the sustainability performance of local and central Government
• Tony Blair mask
• Full Tony Blair outfit
• Hammer
