Sustaining Our Planet for Future Generations

There is concern worldwide that environmental issues we face today will have an impact on future generations. Your challenge is to create a way to communicate the importance of environmental responsibility to people of all ages.

Green Power

Summary

Youth power could solve anything if it was led by wise minds. So, the key solution for all the challenges is to share awareness about them with teenagers and future generations to increase their understanding.As we believe in this, our solution is a poster that can go viral on social media platforms with a creative secret message. This message is directed to youth to get their attention toward global challenges, such as climate change, water and air pollution.After sharing pieces of evidence with them on how these challenges are dangerous, we'll give them a look at how it might going to be with their future children. Then, we'll give them a key tip for solving this by suggesting using MFCs

How We Addressed This Challenge

Each year, the number of people who go on social media and the hours they spend online increases rapidly. That was obvious to all of us, especially in the past few months. Besides, social media proved its speed in sharing information worldwide. So, now it is our turn to use this feature for our benefit.

Actually, every day we receive tons of information about any and everything. But what really stays in our minds is what attracted our attention. And if that was colorful! It will stay even longer. That is what you can call the power of visuals.

As a result, our solution is a graphic poster that will be easily available online with a small secret message. 

We choose this to achieve the accessibility and sustainability of our message in the audience's minds. The importance of this solution comes from its content as, the secret message contains information about global issues, its impacts, a quick look at a future full of pain and the suggested solution to avoid it.

Those global challenges mentioned are climate change, water and air pollution. They are the most dangerous. So, this message aims to increase the knowledge of the following generations about them and encourage young leaders to share awareness about them in their communities.

Finally, the reason behind this solution is making a more knowledgeable generation that can understand the challenges facing their home planet and its fatal impacts.

How We Developed This Project

Concerns about the health of our planet have grown drastically across the globe in recent decades. To preserve our planet secured and sustain for future generations, we decide to choose this challenge and attempt to come up with a solution for more than one problem which is air pollution, water pollution, and global warming. We used certain methods in our solution MFCs to attain high efficiency with suitable qualifications as an approach to develop the project and many benefits resulted from these methods. We also tried to collect data and pieces of information from the previous research paper to make the solution more handle and applicable. As social media gathers pace quickly now with the future generation, we decided to choose a visual content which is a poster was designed on adobe illustrator and post it on Facebook which is the commonly used platform these days so, it can easily attain a good reach. Our cooperation with each other and the level we have reached in the challenge are really the best achievements even with the current problems associated with the coronavirus.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

Nasa offers us valuable resources that increase our understanding of global challenges. Especially, climate change and air quality. 

nasa.climate.gov was the most helpful resource as it covers all the related topics and information about climate. It begins with basics about the difference between weather and climate, and ends by talking about why the climate is changing?! The effects of this change, impacts on different countries, and some valuable strategies to solve these problems.

In our project, the information we collected from this was the base of our research. The key strategy that this website offered was to save our green cover, along with replacing fossil fuels. From this point the core research starts, and as a result, we reached out to MFCs and use it as the key tip in our solution.

Besides, the designs and word phrasing of the Nasa kids website was the one that gives us inspiration about how to write our secret message.
