Objective
We as concerned members of the community feel as though in order to ensure a livable future we should be
weary about our environmental footprint, but we know that not everyone is properly educated on the effects they
have on the world around them. We are hoping to receive funding to host a community event in which we as a
community congregate to educate and directly impact the environment by updating inefficient technologies,
cleaning littered areas, and hopefully prevent future pollutions. An example of this is centralizing on what buildings
are still utilizing incandescent light bulbs, high flow water dispensers, etc.. Though difficult we would try to
implement low emission transportation methods which can also promote more accessible & cleaner forms of
transportation in the community, such as riding the bus or walking.
Background
The issue is the further buildup of emissions and pollution in our community that would affect the way of not only
our life, but our future generations. At the rate that we are going with pollution we are going to make the human
race go extinct and have the planet be inhabitable.
Summary
Why are you doing this project? We are doing this because we care about much more than ourselves, but about
our future and the health of our planet.
What will you be doing? Our mission is to educate, and inform our community about the effects we have on the
environment. Not only that, but we will take an initiative by directly cleaning and improving current wasteful
technologies implemented in our city.
How will you be doing it?We will do it by assembling community members who share similar interest as we do.
Who will be doing it? We as a community will band together to tackle these issues.
How long will it take?This task is not definite timeline but is more of a culminating event that will ensure our
values are in place.
How much will it cost? Our hypothetical budget is approximately $2,000, but can fluctuate depending on the
attainable funding from local coalitions. This also includes donations from participants and businesses in the
community.

Deliverables
Deliverables include current surveys on pollutants such as in our air, water, etc. Our energy consumption directly
contributes to the pollutants released into the atmosphere as it takes a certain amount of resources to generate
this electricity, as shown in the appendix.
Bad Weather Bad weather could affect Before setting the dates for our
participation or productivity. events, we will check the weather to
ensure it is a safe and convenient
day to do it.
Injury While doing the trash cleanup To avoid injury we will conduct our
people could at risk of injury. cleanups in a safe area where
(Cut, fall, slip, poison, allergy etc.) people would be at less risk of
injury.
On top of that, we will be bringing
first aid kits in case of injury.

Conclusion
This project can exemplify a working model that can be implemented across several communities across the
country which decline the exponential pollution growth trend. Continuing to follow these efforts, while not
eliminating the threat pollution looms over us, will ensure that we are left with an uninhabitable planet.
