Four Ideas from One topic
IDEA 1
Plastic Free Life QUESTION
How can I raise people’s awareness and refusing the plastics from their daily life? SUMMARY
People take using plastic stuffs for granted, and never thought about the environmental thing. I hope to raise people’s awareness on everyone is responsible for our environment.
IDEA 2
Better Choice For Drinking QUESTION
Straw Free Restaurant QUESTION
How can I persuade the restauranteurs to not offer the plastic straws to the patrons or consumers, and how can I support them to achieve the goal? SUMMARY
A lot of waiters in the restaurant habitually serve patrons a straw with drinks, sometimes even a cup of water. I want restauranteurs to realize that by stop serving plastic straws, many plastic pollution can be reduced.
IDEA 4
Reuse The Wasted Plastics QUESTION
In some cases, straw is necessary for
Since there are already existed large
certain type of drinks, like boba tea, etc. How can people live an straw less life settings and better their drinking experience?
amount of plastics pollution, how can I convert them into useful form for people’s daily life?
SUMMARY
Nowadays, people like to drink milk tea with boba than ever before, I want to promote an idea of changing people’s drinking style.

IDEA 3

SUMMARY
Plastics pollution is a big issue since people use them a lot than ever before, and they are not recyclable and biodegrade. I hope to explore different ways to reuse those discarded plastics.

What is a microfiber? Think about all of your clothing made of synthetic fabrics, such as acrylic, nylon, and polyester. This includes fleece, shorts, pants, shirts, skirts, dresses, socks, and even your favorite yoga sets. However, a majority of people do not know that every time they wash their synthetic clothing, these items release thousands of microfibers into our environment. These particles are then widely spread throughout the country, from national parks to agricultural lands, to the ocean and the fish we eat, from which we absorb toxins.

How to get microfibers out of waterways METHOD 01
To get people to buy more non-synthetic clothing online and onsite. METHOD 02
To educate them how to treat their clothing properly before they wash clothes.

Background
Most of us wear synthetic fabrics like polyester every day, including our yoga pants, fleece jackets, acrylic sweater, and even underwears are all increasingly made of synthetic materials—plastic, in fact. However, when these clothes washed, they will release tiny plastic pieces—called microfibers—that flow down our drains, through water treatment plants, and out into our rivers, lakes, and oceans by the billions. They will poison not only our ocean but also our daily seafood as well. Thus, our mission is to persuade and educate people to buy as little synthetic clothing as possible to protect our environment.
SWOTs
STRENGTHS Since a lot of people are still not familiar with this issue by far, we can take this opportunity to educate them and push them to take actions to support our environment. WEAKNESS People may think this is not a big deal; also, they would not be willing to spend more money on buying organic clothes. OPPORTUNITIES A sizeable organic clothing market may open up. The farms that provide natural materials, like cotton, hemp, and wool may grow up. THREAT Strong and sturdy advertisings by the fashion industry is a significant threat.

She always buys acrylic sweaters for herself and her kids because they are comfortable as well as cheap. She always visit an aquarium because she loves marine animals. She rarely uses single-use plastics because she knows that such plastics cause significant pollution for the ocean. She likes to buy clothing made from organza occasionally because she thinks the fabric is especially beautiful. She likes underwater diving since she enjoys the feeling of being in the natural marine habitat. She has been buying more chiffons and laces for her young daughter because she wants to be like a fairy. She rarely considers microscopic marine life because her professional focus is on large aquatic animals.

Stakeholders
SEAFOOD RESTAURANT OWNERS They want to sell organic seafood to consumers, but the microfibers are poisoning our ocean and food supply. Studies show that small marine lives, like mussels, clams, and oysters are more likely to absorb those tiny fibers.
COTTON-PLANTING FARMERS If people start to make a change to buy more natural clothing, there must be a massive demand for the cotton which is an essential material to produce clothing.
ORGANIC CLOTHING COMPANIES They can take advantage of this issue and sell their products. Since clothing made out of natural materials are more expensive than the synthetic one, people are not willing to pay extra for it unless there is a convincing reason behind it.

VISUAL THINKING // PROCESS BOOK
Tone
Since our target audiences are mainly young adults, the overall tone of it is modern, playful and thoughtful. In the literal language, I am using questions as headings since people would unconsciously answer the questions when they read it. In the visual style, I am using condensed typeface and simple graphic elements to create a sense of stylish and using a colorful solid square to enhance the overall feeling.
Visual
Combining real clothing and actual seafood together in order to give people a sense of both playfulness and seriousness about the cause.

Keywords
SUSTAINABLE To protect our earth, we all need to embrace sustainable, including fashion industry. Since people are relying on clothing to dress them up, they should sustainably change their shopping habit so that they can meet better environment.
TIMELESS Timeless can refer both positively and negatively. It can indicate the companies will produce clothing timelessly. However, the fashion trend is changing all the time, so it can also refer only eco-friendly fashion is eternal, and will never be out of date.
FREE Free can refer plastic-free in the fashion industry; it can also refer our plastic-free life. If a person wants to live in a plasticfree world, the only thing he can do is to buy plastic-free products, including daily clothes. What we choose from the world, the world will finally come back to you.
Messages and Drivers
MAIN Buy less synthetic clothing is a shopping habit change that can be sustainable and simple. SUB 1 While people are like to buy cheap clothing, re-framing people's stereotypical perspectives of shopping can help them see that the change is for the better environment. SUB 2 We can live in the plastic-free world only if we buy plastic-free products, including our clothes. SUB 3 Timeless fashion is not only stylish but also friendly to the environment.

Most of us wear synthetic fabrics like polyester every day. Our dress shirts, yoga pants, fleeces, and even underwear are all increasingly made of synthetic materials — plastic, in fact. But these artificial fabrics, from which 60% of all clothing on earth is made, have a significant hidden problem: when they’re washed, they release tiny plastic bits — called microfibers — that flow down our drains, through water treatment plants, and out into our rivers, lakes, and oceans by the billions. Even worse, some small marine lives would feed on these microfibers, and perhaps to the human who relies on these species as a source of food.

OVERALL VERVE The overall verve of this deliverable is to persuade people to buy as little synthetic clothing as possible, and provide my target audiences a right choice instead of a cheap choice. OVERALL GOAL The overall goal of this deliverable is to offer young people an easy way to shop for natural fiber clothing. DESCRIPTION This app will offer people a brand new way to shop for non-synthetic clothing. It categorizes items by different fabrics, different clothing types and fashion brands. Young adults can browse most all fashion brands in this app. Once they choose the items they like, the app will automatically pick the most similar items with the same style, and affordable price, but made from different fabrics. This function pushes people to make a better choice and allows them to buy it in the screen.
