It's definitely not a good idea. If it were one, there would be a real opening for it. One problem with moving all your white-squared pawn 1 space forward, is that you loose so many moves evolving your figures. However, this is the 'small' disadvantage. The big one is, that all of your white-squared fields are very weak.

Look at this position:

[fen ""]
1. a3 e5 2. c3 d5 3. e3 e4 4. g3 Nc6

Black just needs to put his figures on nice spots like for example Ne5 or Nc4, Bg4 with Nf6. Also a disadvantage is that you loose much space. Your knights have nearly no spots, where they can move. Bc1 is completely useless.

If you loose your white-squared bishop, the black figures will destroy you, because you can't defense every white-squared field.

After moving 8 pawns 1 space forward, the black opponent could probably evolve himself completely. So you are fighting with 8 pawn against the complete figures of the black player.

Besides, your pawns are very weak:
