Step 1 FEEL

The problem I choose is how can we save rainforests because 1) Rainforests are natural air filters. They store and filter excess carbon and other pollutants from the atmosphere and release oxygen through photosynthesis 2) Rainforests filter and regulate the flow of water. Trees release water from their leaves during a process called evapotranspiration 3) Rainforests are the most biodiverse habitats on Earth, housing nearly 80% of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity. They host an expansive array of plants and animals, many of which are still unknown to science.

Step 2 Imagine

To save rainforest we would need to first a) stop cutting of tress b) plant more trees. For that we could use technology , example drown with a few modifications we can easily use a drown for both purposes mentioned above

Step 3DO

A large forest might need about 5 drowns by attaching a small bag full of seeds with tiny holes. The seeds in the bag will be distributed in random areas creating a fast and new way of dispersing seeds. While some drowns even have in-built speakers and camera's we can identify the people illegally trying to chop wood and warn them not to or further actions will be taken by police or plant saving organizations.

I tried do to the experiment with my drown in the local garden. It worked and I was able to cover much more land by a drown than manually.

When I told my idea to the garden caretaker she said "This will absolutely help in saving rainforest and the people handling the drown will also be able to get funds creating a new type of job" My teachers suggested " its a good idea and adding a zooming feature to the camera might help if the forest is dense"

I had problems attaching the seed bag to my drown so I later used a string and glue gun to attach both.

Step 4 SHARE

I made a basic presentation to explain my idea along with a few statistics. I shared the project with my classmates and teacher. Everybody liked the idea
