This morning change.org has opened the voting process for the last round of the competition “Ideas for change in America.”

The competition was launched in partnership with more than 50 leading organizations from the third sector, including MySpace, in response to Barack Obama's call for increased civic participation in America. The idea submission window closed on December 31, 2008, and the top rated ideas from a total of 7,783 were classified for the second and final voting round.

This second part finished on January 15; afterwards, change.org organized an event at the National Press Club to announce the top 10 rated ideas and submit them to the Obama Administration and then lauch a national campaign to ensure that each winning idea gets the full consideration of the new Government and the 111th Congress.

To choose your “Top 10 Ideas for America”, go to www.change.org/ideas and take part of this citizen-driven project which seeks for change in America.

The principle behind this "engagement" is simple:

- Register on the site
- You will then receive a confirmation e-mail with a password that you will need to login.
- Once you´ve started your session, you will be able to publish an article in the BLOG showing your commitment!
- When you´ve finished, please vote for the best posts and tell to your friends and family about your published wish. Take the chance to also ask them how committed they are themselves, so that they can participate alongside all committed users during 2009.

Some of the good environmental causes are becoming a recycling or composting expert, buying energy-efficient bulbs, avoid using the car too often, prioritising local produce, launching an ecologic product or promoting a big awareness campaing on a topic that is close to the heart.

So, do you want to commit yourself as well?
