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.

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…

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.

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.

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.

There have been many cases of people protecting places that are important to them or people that are related to them. Places that are ancient or sacred to old tribes or groups should be protected because they are a part of our history and are actually quite important. They should not be knocked down!

My dark website would share information around in a crisis. Say in a pandemic, the website would update the safe zones in the city and say the danger of the pandemic and how it spreads.

In the next ten years I believe there will be a lot of new parks and recreational spaces. Hopefully there will be a lot of Earthquake-built buildings and a lot more shipping containers as shops. A lot of the houses should be repaired and upgraded to be more safe.

I have assisted my sister in numerous subjects including graphics, english and maths.

I have also helped my mum learn some french.

Well, there would probably be and Earthquake in the future and if a major one occurred there would be a high need to share info about damage and people that could be in jeopardy. Sharing information would be needed majorly in a crisis.

There is a vague sense of a resilience plan here and due to recent events that will have to start coming into motion. I don't think I would be able to contribute but I am looking forward to seeing what is put on the table.

I have assisted my sister in numerous subjects and have supplied her with a program that helps her do her work to an excellence standard.

I have also shown support fo0r my mother while she was learning French.

The new currency I am reporting on is a small computer chip that can plug into any digital device with a USB port and can exchange the worth on the chip. Sort of like a credit card but the chip has a max amount of money that can be loaded on it (e.g $20.00).

I once made a US dollar transaction with someone before because they didn't have any NZ dollars and obviously wanted to make a transaction... so I did.

There are some very good money ideas out there such as trading mobile phone top ups and a form on currency on Craigslist. I believe this could possibly help different economies and could be the future of money.

In Bangladesh, Water.org has been targeting slum areas and have been providing Watercredit programs to the people there.
I believe providing fresh water to people living in slums is a really smart idea because a lot of them do not have access to clean water and it is common for people to get infections and diseases.

A few years ago I met this guy who told me that desalting the world sea water would be a great idea and I totally agree with him, there is probably more than a few billion litres in the ocean and that would supply with world with more than enough.

MY event would be a celebration with all water-related activities. There would be a kids water fight and presentaions and creative surveys showing the importance of clean water. There would be donation boxes and slip for sponsorship if someone wanted to sponsor and person to give them clean water.

I chose a company called blueEnergy because they are using mainly wind powered and provide energy to a lot of african towns.
