Sustaining Our Planet for Future Generations
LIFE – the new social network
Summary
These days, it’s easy to get to the suburbs, but it’s hard to find a place in nature without garbage. It is easy to see that pollution is increasing over the years. Our grandparents and parents testify to this. And what if the generations came together for one mutual purpose and make things right. Our strength lies in unity, this view has been shaped by past events and confirmed by the present. Imagine a world where there is one tool that can unite and change the future by solving long-standing ecological problems.
How We Addressed This Challenge
We offer a new platform which will help to solve ecological problems, for instance, garbage in the streets or polluted beach, as well as to inform about environmental issues such as air pollution, marine pollution, deforestation, etc.
This is how our social network works, all it needs from you is information about ecological problems or impending disasters. You just share information from other social networks or take photos and mark a problem. Other people check the reliability of the information and edit or update the status of the problem. If you are not only a good photographer, but also a conscious citizen, you can solve problems yourself and share the results of the work done. If the work you have done is still not enough, you will also find a section on the platform where you can contribute financially. You can see how it worksh ere.
This platform will be needed by all, me, you, our future generations, and will be available to all social and age groups. Let's create, communicate and publicize problems together, because life is so fragile, but at the same time it's all we have.
How We Developed This Project
Recent disasters, not only in the country but also in the world. It seems we have just watched videos where we learned how to protect nature, not pollute it, and use less plastic. Unfortunately, but the world had its own plans and in tackling one problem, another contributed - the global pandemic. The idea came from the growing awareness of people, because when a new problem arises, the old one must not be forgotten.
We built a concept of social platform which relies on people, posting, checking and editing the platform's information. This will heavily use NASA satellites to monitor the climate change and other natural disasters. The information collected is broadcasted to users.
Mockup ishere.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
The data from NASA as well as from JAXA, CSA datasets or resources could be used to inform everyone who is using the platform about the situation on Earth and environmental issues. Apps like "GLOBE Observer" and "Earth Now" might also provide necessary information to the new platform.
