Week 1 Reflection--Jun Jie

In this week, we have not done much. All we have completed is deciding our group name, which we concluded should be "The Eco-Champs", and assign roles to each members. We have also decided that our theme shall be "Champions of the Earth". 

Currently, I know that the earth is suffering from Global Warming, which causes the melting of ice caps, causing floods and arctic animals, such as polar bears, to lose their habitats and become endangered. 

Therefore, I would like to find out ways to make our future a "Greener" one by finding out ways to reduce the amount of Carbon Dioxide emissions from vehicles. I will therefore research further on both Global Warming and How to prevent it from happening, besides conserving energy by using green energy like solar or hydroelectric energy.

Here are the ideas of our project (our group has decided that each one of us shall think of at least 2 ideas for the project, and we will then vote for the best one to be carried out)

1) An object to either absorb or dissolve the carbon dioxide emissions. (Something like an air freshener, but an air freshener only refreshes the air and does not remove these emissions.)

2) A "membrane" type of material that would prevent the carbon dioxide emissions from coming out of the car. (Like a filter paper, but instead this blocks the gas from escaping)

3) A hydro-electrical Power Boat
