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.

EPIPHANY

Summary

since sustaining our earth is becoming a very frequent matter nowadays, we took this opportunity to aware people of the different types of pollution and how to deal with it, and how to save our earth from any further damage. Our idea was to make a simple website that will be easy to use and enjoyable to read by young or older generations and make them aware of pollution problems and make them interact with it and write comments on how to further help solve problems and encourage each other.

How We Addressed This Challenge

we developed a website that will be very important because it will help solve a big problem which is the lack of awareness that people has about the dangers of pollution. our web site which is in the shape of a blog will make information easier to deliver and enjoyable to read as it will contain a lot of pictures and colors. our website has also a comment section where people can write their opinions in and interact with each other so they can generate new ideas and encourage each other to brain storm new ideas and do actions to stop polluting. we hope to achieve a sustainable earth and a better planet to live on in the future for coming generations and to aware people about the huge impact that pollution has on our earth.

How We Developed This Project

we saw that since we are now in the period of corona and not many people are going out and as a consequence the pollution rates decreased so we saw that this was the perfect time to continue and aware people on how to continue saving our earth even after the corona period. one of the factors that helped us too was that since people are staying home so they are most of the day online which will make the rate of people reading this website bigger. we made our website the form of a blog which is sectioned into topics and each topic has a comment section below where people can write in. our team had a main problem which was that we were not able to see each other in real life but this didn't stop us and we used the zoom app to communicate and finish our project.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

using NASA official web site was very useful as we found a lot of useful information's on it about different fields. the data was very organized so it was easy to read and follow with the paragraphs and the topic. we used the articles that was written about pollution and we understood a lot from the graphs provided in the site.
