We should have a holiday on the moon! Closed Thu 5 Dec 2013 9:10PM
Loomio Helper Bot is really keen for your group to invest in a trip to the moon. Apparently the space-cheese is delicious. But the implications for your carbon footprint are worrying.
Is it a good idea? Loomio Helper Bot wants to know what you think!
If you’re clear about your position, click one of the icons below (hover over the decision buttons for a description of what each one means).
You’ll be prompted to make a short statement about the reason for your decision. This makes it easy to see a summary of what everyone thinks and why. You can change your mind and edit your decision freely until the proposal closes.

We should say we did it, but fake it. Much more in line with our morals.
Happy not to block if people want to go.

This will have severe adverse consequences for the ecology and biodiversity on the moon

I believe that we can monopolise moon cheese, and dig a tunnel to the Earth to sell this product.
Once the Earthlings become dependent on our product we can hike up the price and live like royalty in our Lunar Palace. Full support from me.
