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.

Better Planet

Summary

For a long time, plastic bags were used as free for carrying many purposes. However, plastic has negative impacts on the ecosystem because it’s not biodegradable. So,our mission is to spread awareness about reducing plastic usage.As our challenge is to tell people especially the younger generation who are interested in technology and tell them about the importance of sustaining our planet, we build a website to tell people plastic updates, its negative impacts, and advice to reduce their daily usage of plastic. Also, there will be a profile for each user to enter a challenge and encourage them to reduce using plastic.The winner user will be given discounts on any application or any feature.

How We Addressed This Challenge

We want to communicate the importance of sustaining our planet to all generations especially young generations who are interested in technology and innovation so, the best effective way to communicate with them is by technology. We choose our project to be a software system to tell them about plastic pollution and its effect on our planet. We focus on this issue because all people around the global are using plastic products in their daily life as they want and don’t know its dangers impacts on the environment and the nature. Our project is a website that contains information and data about plastic pollution, causes, and impacts on the Earth. Also, it provides users with alternatives instead of plastic products and the difference between normal plastic that can’t biodegrade and biodegradable plastic that is made from natural materials. Our website enables users to make a profile and enter a challenge. Then they provide the website about their usage of plastic at the day and enter a competition with other users. The user who use the littlest amount of plastic at his challenge will win a prize. This prize can be a discount on any online product or application. For example, the winner user will win a 40% discount on a family meal, by this way we encourage all people to reduce plastic at their life and use other natural materials.

We hope that all people have the enough awareness about this danger and encourage them to reduce plastic usage to get better planet.

How We Developed This Project

We developed this project to engage younger generations to be involved with this environmental issue (plastic pollution). We see that making a website is the best way to deliver or message because we are in technology century. By this project we want avoid the negative impacts of using plastic products and have a better planet for living. We want all people to know about this disaster so, we developed this website to fit either adults and kids. We want to encourage people to reduce their usage of plastic products and use biodegradable materials. We want to connect this website with anther mobile application and work offline to be closer to users. By this project we want to help environmental organizations to achieve their goal and preserving the environment. We will make partnerships with companies and organization to achieve our mission and make promotions for them.

We were intending to use HTML language to program this website, but we don’t have enough time to build a website from A-Z so, we got help from another website that help us build our project easily.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

We used space agency data to know the statistics and rates of using plastic around the world. Also, we sued it to know more about the impacts of plastic on climate changes
