The focus of my capstone project is going to be on climate change, and how the human race has played a key role in polluting our Earth. With statistics and proven studies, I hope to debunk the the theories and skeptics against global warming and demonstrate through my capstone project, how big of an impact humans have on climate change. My web site will be laid out in a multi page layout with a navigation bar for easy transitions through the different topic pages. I will include a variety of pictures on each page as well as statistics that I will make easily legible and short in hopes to keep the audience engaged. The two media media objects I plan on using are going to be an infographic, and a remix video. The infographic is going to consist of a variety of facts as well as pictures showing different human activities that cause climate change. The remix video will have multiple clips showing different activities that humans “do” that cause climate change. Such as mass coal burning for electricity, massive mile long traffic jams in china that last for days on end. Unregulated factories in underdeveloped nations that spew out millions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and much more.
According to a recent report by Oxfam, climate change could push food prices by 50-60 percent more by 2030. #climatechange
