hid to catch faulty disposals

we need to make sure we give the authority to the proper people next time

background checks and lessons to teach them proper etiquette

Amp up the good:

HMW give her a way to communicate to others in order to help the Earth?

Remove the bad:

HMW stop her from talking with a bad attitude?

HMW control her emotions when she sees polluters?

Explore the opposite:

HMW not need to rely on sustainability?

HMW ignore sustainability for as long as possible?

Question an assumption:

HMW assume everyone is already educated?

HMW make everyone care about the environment?

HMW make caring about the environment important?

Go after adjectives:
HMW make her communication friendly instead of rude?

HMW make sustainability appear like a pressing issue instead of one for future generations?

HMW make the education fun?

ID the unexpected resources:

HMW use her garden to show off organic food?

HMW use her school to reach other teenagers?

Create an analogy from need or context:

HMW make the education a game?

HMW make the communication channel as simple as a conversation?

HMW make sustainability common knowledge?

Play POV against the challenge:

HMW make people want to listen to Emma?

HMW make Emma’s efforts most efficient?

Change a status quo:

HMW make Emma less rude?

HMW make teenagers care?

Break POV into pieces:

HMW create more educators?

HMW enforce public policy to force sustainability?

HMW incentivize sustainable actions so others care about education?

Our character is Emma

She is a environmentalist.

Her family composts and gardens.

She loves being green,

We were surprised to notice

She is a radical environmentalist.

The way she scolds her peers is sometimes taken as rude or mean.

She is very active on environmental blogs.

Her friends are not as conscious as she is.

We wonder if this means

She needs an effective channel to educate her peers.

She will continue to put effort to educate others or if she will get too discouraged.

People will begin to associate her rude personality with other people who care about the environment.

Jed:

I noticed he was wearing camo in public so I thought it would be an interesting interview about food waste

Composting is throwing old food into gardens to feed them

Thinks food waste is terrible

Eats as much as he can from deer

Freezes in a freezer in his garage

Wegmans

Since it’s closest place

His wife does the shopping

He eats whatever she cooks

ALL of it

Over buys food when he hosts

Uses his freezer to save food

Loves leftovers

If he doesn’t eat leftovers, he feeds it to his two dogs: Rusty and Kodiak

Fridge is normally kind of bare

Not too much in it besides milk eggs and condiments

Keeps lots of frozen meat in his freezer

Sometimes he is unsure of where to place what waste

So he just throws everything in the trash

Melissa:

Composting is when you “throw a whole bunch of old food and worms into a bin to make nutritious dirt”

No active food waste prevention

Feels bad since she wastes a lot

Blames oversized portions in America

Never been outside of America but just assumed

Doesn’t shop but her parents shop at Wegmans since that's the closest place

Buys lots of pizza when she hosts events at her house

Throws old food in the trash at home

Fridge is stocked full since her and her siblings eat a lot

4 brothers

Her high school has the 3 bin system so she understands it well

Believes everywhere should utilize the 3 waste disposal methods

Jack:

Never understood it, but he knows to put food in it

Tries to always eat his full plate no matter how long it takes him

Doesn’t grocery shop and it depends on what his parents are buying

His parents don’t let him host so he doesn’t have to deal with it

Wastes a lot of food since his family doesn’t like leftovers

Reheated food doesn’t taste right

Average fridge in his mind

Had no idea how to describe it

Goes to same high school as before so he understands as well

Olivia:

Doesn’t know how it works but she knows it’s a good thing

She times what she cooks based on expiration dates to help with food waste

Wegmans since it is closest

She does not have a house for hosting and never does

Small apartment

Any extra food gets thrown in trash if it’s not eaten quick enough

She doesn’t throw out much food though since she buys smart

Likes to keep it stocked with fruits and vegetables but she does not buy in bulk since she lives right next to a grocery store

Knows to put food and specially marked containers in compost, paper and plastic in recycling and everything else in trash
