The goal was to assist in reducing the creation of pollution, which would tackle the problem at its roots. This resulted in a drastic reduction of pollution production. In addition, solutions were sought regarding rejuvenating bodies of water that have been damaged from prolonged exposure to pollution. The broadness of these problems was needed to focus on these areas to find what needs to be fixed specifically.
• Reducing the carbon footprint
• Efficiency of solar panels
• Overuse of water within first world
