In San Francisco, I wanted to create better air quality. To achieve this, I determined where trees should be planted based on where the most damage was being done. My goal was to reduce the levels of carbon in the air and lower PM2.5 and PM10, and I saw that by increasing tree coverage by […]
EcoEthics is a website that focuses on holding companies accountable for greenwashing. We spent hours researching different major companies, to see what their climate pledges are. Then we documented our findings on one website. You will also find links to other articles as well as a summary of its contents. We hope you enjoy our […]
For my 2023–2024 i2 project, I’ve investigated the possibility and measured the effect of a revamped power system for SHC. In my proposal, I theorized a solar array, battery system, and heat pump system, with the remaining energy being sold back to the grid through the process of net metering.
cool stuff here
Project Greenwater is a working model of a greywater system to prove that it works and can be easily implemented. Greywater systems filter dirty water from your shower, washing machine, and sink so that you can use it to water your plants (but not drink). Currently, it’s a technology that not many people use, but […]
Plastic Ocean was a project inspired by my interest in environmental sciences and my desire to help reduce pollution, focusing on ocean garbage patches. Many people don’t fully understand the impact that they have on the natural world, and our collective ignorance towards matters such as ocean trash can be just as harmful as pollutants, […]
From the very start of this school year, I knew I wanted my project to involve the worsening climate crisis. When brainstorming ideas, I found it difficult to come up with a doable project that would bring about an actual change in the world. Everything I initially devised was either unrealistic in scale or had […]
For my project this year, I developed multiple plant-based, easily accessible, and recycled bioplastics. All ingredients were easy and inexpensive to get, or traditional leftover food scraps. Some examples include an eggshell-based composite, a coffee-based composite, and a starch-based bioplastic similar to a Ziploc bag.
When our group was coming up with an idea for our project, we all saw that we were all interested in the environment. We wanted to do something that would benefit people who are trying to grow a garden, but might be unable to consistently take care of it. As a result, we decide to […]
One of the most important issues that is highly overlooked by society is our carbon footprint. Shouldn’t we be more concerned about prioritizing the health of our home as it provides resources necessary for survival? One of the ways to reduce our carbon footprint is focusing on the technological impacts. Technology requires a power source […]
