20 Time is a project people are encouraged to take 20% of their work time to work on a separate project that they are passionate about. For our 20 time project, we decided to look into California’s water problem. Our essential question is what ways can we improve California’s water management and how we can spread the word out. We chose this project because our state has an ineffective way to manage the water supply and we want to learn more about potential solutions. Our goal is to research and to find solutions about california’s subpar water management. To measure our achievements, we will continuously post on this blog to record our progress on how we are doing. Our plan going into the future is to create a website to inform the public about this issue. On this website, we are planning on including an informative video that explains the current issues that are going on at the moment and hopefully interview people who have previous knowledge regarding this issue. We want to be able to make a change in how our state manages its water and hope to shed light on people as well.
This is an excellent project idea. Due to the recent drought we had, inefficiently managing our water supply could have real and detrimental consequences for us in the future. One suggestion is that you could also try to contact local bulletins or the Saratoga News to get the word about your website.
ReplyDeleteI really like your idea because the drought in California can be greatly alleviated through better management, and more awareness over the common belief that just 'more rain' that will permanently fix the issue. Maybe you could use your blog posts to advise ideas for people to conserve water and how they can do their part to help with avoiding future droughts. Inspiring idea and can't wait to see what you learn!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! Just because we have water now doesn't mean it will last forever. This is a great way to raise awareness.
