No use for me as I live in the UK. But for those in the area, this looks like a once in a generation chance to make a lasting difference for you and those that follow. Once you get one area under use and the sky doesn't fall in, it can be used as an example to get other areas adopted. Get organised, get your mates to take part too. Indifference will not make a difference that you want to see.
