My Earth Dream is a slick flash-driven website which highlights Honda F1's decision to remove all corporate sponsorship from its cars, and replace them with an image of the world. Its intention is to raise awareness of environmental issues and to encourage people everywhere to make a difference to the world around them.
The site lets you become a part of the cars livery by making a pledge. Your name and pledge then makes up a very small part of the cars artwork, which as they put it is: "small things coming together to make big things happen."
