Why as a team did you choose to focus on this challenge?
We have chosen this challenge as we think littering is a huge problem in Climate Change as it has effected the environment by causing pollution, kills wildlife, facilitates the spread of disease and litter is costly . I hope our service can help littering.
What do you know now about the challenge that you didn't know before?
I seen that many people just want to pretend that littering isn’t happening
What have you learnt about your Hero?
That they have giving us their honest opinions and give us advice and some recommendations.
If you could improve one thing for your Hero what would that be?
Be helpful and communicate more . Share ideas and agree and disagree .
Do you have any ideas for a potential solution? No matter how raw, share them with your Mentors for feedback.
Our solution to littering is we will have a trash can that will measure the weight of rubbish you have put in and give you money in return .
Ask your Mentor anything …. This is a chance to ask your Mentors a direct question relating to your Big Idea.
We asked would you pick up litter and get money in return . Most people said yes but some had questions about how it would work and how to access your money received which will be through a card and app .
