Capstone Project Proposal

In this Capstone project, I’m going to be discussing the importance of protecting our environment such as forests, rivers, and oceans, from environmental waste. This issue is important to me because I have taken multiple environmental classes and am dedicated to reducing my carbon footprint by learning and understanding these issues in our everyday society that create a huge threat to wildlife environments. Everyday pesticides and toxic chemicals leach into our environment from landfills and improper use of everyday home chemical products which create environmental problems. Other environmental waste includes improper disposal of electronics like cellphones and tv’s that end up in landfills or incinerators that take a massive amount of energy for disposal. Another environmental issue is factory farms that store animal waste in big lagoons that can stretch as far as multiple football fields that leak into waterways killing plants and animals. I am going to create an infographic file (at least 1400 x 800 – height x width pixels) and an animation file (1 min. – 1:45 mins. long) discussing major issues with environmental waste and want to focus on everyday solutions that would help reduce these problems and help clean up our environment. These two media objects will relate to one another by focusing on major issues related with environmental waste and will help provide possible solutions. The infographic will highlight problems and solutions while the animated file will visually show how these problems go into effect and how an understanding of possible solution would help reduce these issues.
