I have become a Water Warrior. A person dedicated to informing and acting about this problem. Occasionally I will send ouut the mass text showing facts about how much water we have and how much they need. I subscribed to this website www.globalwaterchallenge.org.

In Uganda water.org have started putting water kiosks in villages. Kiosks are basically a walled patio in which there are water taps built in to the walls. I think that thi is an excellent idea as it makes sure that villagers live safe in the knowledge tht there is a clean source of water right across the road instead of them having to used cotaminated springs and creeks.

Celllphones. They are something that almost everyone has. Some teens are texing non stop! Some take up a lot of power especially if they have to be charged everyday. They may not seem like a lot of electricity but if you add up how many people have cellphones then the power usage is quite alot. If all cellphones had solar panels on the back, front, keys and around the screen then all you would have to do is leave your phone by a sunny window to charge it. Only on rainy days would we have to…

Every week, a new mission will be brought out. It is your duty as a social innovator to study the growing problems recorded in these missions and inspire people around you how to change the world.

To help food security I have helped my mum in the vege garden. It may not be a lot but half of what we grow this year will go to the local community centre for those who have no money to buy food. I hope I have provided a back up for those who are at the bottom of the wealth pyramid.

Every resource we have comes from the ground. But how much impact does mining coal, iron, gold etc. contribute to the world's landscape weening to a dried up cheerio. Mining changes so much in our world, it affects our water, our food, even our grass. Your mission is to find out new ideas to lower the harm mining has on our world.

Learn- Discover new ways to sustainably mine resources that are compulsory for industry.

Act- Raise awareness about this sustainable way to mine, in…

Paul Polak–founder of Colorado-based non-profit International Development enterprises (IDE)—is dedicated to developing practical solutions that attack poverty at its roots. He also wrote "Out of Poverty" a book that explains what he does.

For the past 25 years, Paul has worked with thousands of farmers in countries around the world—including Bangladesh, India, Cambodia, Ethiopia, Myanmar, Nepal, Vietnam, Zambia and Zimbabwe–to help design and

produce low–cost, income–generating…

I think Evoke should tackle the problem of pollution because it plays a major role in our everyday lives and everyone does it.

I would probably call on my mum first because she is a medical officer and might know how to keep out of the virus's way depending if it is transmitted through touch, water, or is airbourne.

Provide skills, not just finished technologies. The current revolution in design for developing countries is the notion of co-creation, of teaching the skills necessary to create the solution,

rather than simply providing the solution. By involving the community throughout the design process, you can help equip people to innovate and contribute to the evolution of the product. Furthermore, they acquire the skills needed to create solutions to a much wider variety of problems. They are…

I believe public trust in a pandemic is a big thing to have and is very necessary. This way the message about what to do can be sent clearly around countries. This also means the public will obey the suggestions in a way.

would get as much water and food as i can and get as much people as i can to a save place where they cant get sick.i would tell them to start preparing for the future by growing foods and starting a new community

In Malawi, farmers are being given seeds that they can plant anywhere and the trees that sprout out of them help the soil on the farm; making sure it is not eroding. The farmers share these seeds out to their friends and help with their crops too. These trees help with the farmers crops in a hot place like Malawi, meaning the economy grows in the farming industry in Malawi.

I have found reports about indigenous people in South America using plants for medicine and healing. One tribe, called the Yąnomamö, are known for their huge botanical knowledge and use roughly 500 plants for food, medicine, and house building. If I were to make an object representing this knowledge, I would construct a large hollow wooden box with leaves and herbs hand-carved on the sides and lid. People would be able to write what they know about plant medicines and put them in the box for…

This time i think the approach will be by dealing with the media and find way of communicating the public about the out

instead of people going crazy, id put and emergency health care that would take care of the people who need help.

Seems like a good start, as far as helping the environment goes on this issue, would be to stop purchasing bottled water and start filtering our tap water. This would at least cut back on the plastic bottles that get tossed away.

On the webpage "Globalgiving" I was looking for some donations and I particularly noticed the following:

"Provide 384 Women And Girls Education In Cambodia"!

The following video is well done and leads to thinking and inspires to help.

This project will provide 384 women and girls a variety of…

My objective was to increase someone's food security near me.



So the question is how to help respectively whom should I support?

Generally in Germany, the country I live, and like in other industrialized countries we have no problem with food security. On the contrary we have a problem with high abundance of the food. Meanwhile, the food is usually thrown away when it doesn't look enjoyable anymore although you can still eat it. And it is so unjust because on the world there…
