A New Perspective

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, protected areas and other forms of wilderness areas (e.g., arboretums, beaches, parks, marine monuments) have been closed worldwide. Your challenge is to lead the effort to examine any potential impacts of reduced human traffic in such local protected natural environments.

MR WASTE

Summary

We are buying a lot of masks, gloves and other items. After using all these materials, it dumps into the ocean. So, we’ve come up with a new solution. When your basket is full of the used mask and other items contact us through this app, "Mr.Waste". We've developed this app using NASA's Data. You'll be paid as it's shown in the app depend on your items. Your used items will carry onto the waste management company and make our profit. Mr.Waste create a platform for lower-income people also.

How We Addressed This Challenge

Due to this COVID-19 pandemic, all the areas have been closed globally. We all think that the low appearance of human cause no sign of harm for nature. But we don't even know how much we pollute our environment sitting at home. People mostly use the mask now. In this time, masks, gloves and other safety items. We throw it to the ground or to the dustbin. These wastes are finally going to the ocean and destroy the soil. Gary Stokes, the founder of OceansAsia.org, found a large number of masks on Soko Island. So, gloves and face masks that are put in the trash could ultimately end up in nature.

We, team Alpha Optimus 369 create a platform where you can earn beside saving nature.

We create a platform for the lower-income people where they can work as a delivery person of Mr.Waste. After using your masks and other teams we've to save it in your house and sign up in our app, Mr.Waste as a consumer. It'll find your location and you've to select the waste that you want to give us. The consumer will get money as his list. Using Ar(augmented reality) one can scan his items.

Then a notification will go to the delivery person through this app. Using Nasa's data Mr.Waste will observe the condition of your location and then reach your house to collect it. Then he'll take it away to the waste management company. They'll give some money as their raw material. Our website is to provide updates during this pandemic and air pollution and heat using satellite data.

Here, we indicate negative impacts of locked down people where the whole world is saying to us that nature is not fully safe from reduced human traffic.

How We Developed This Project

I am a nature-loving person. From an online article by Gary Stokes, the founder of OceansAsia.org, found a large number of masks on Soko Island-inspired to choose this challenge. We collect this data from the Nasa's data.

Our approach was to maintain the ecosystem. As we tried to maintain the balance the change of nature so, we approached with that user-friendly platform an app and a website. Masks and other safety items are commonly used items so we think about these. Further,we'll work with all type of waste using same process.

For developing the android app we used the android studio. We used java, XML as coding languages for this app and Wordpress for developing the website.

We've achieved some national and international titles. One of them is from IIT Ftechfest, Mumbai 2020. Some sort of communication gap is visible in our team as we're different colleges and ages. When it is time for solving problems, we work together.
