 1. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION:

We are all aware of the high rates of contamination found in the sea, this added to the
human disinterest by many of the current environmental issues and the lack of the
recycling processes in most of the cases, lead us to continue committing again and again
the same mistakes every time more unforgivable.

The main problem is the poor management of plastic waste in this case, because we
aren't just talking about the typical of waste with big sizes but also we are now facing the
Microplastics that become a greater threat that affect both the nature and marine life,
such as the human life as the consumption of seafood with these microplastics alters the
hormones and cause great damage to humans.

It is for this reason that our project wants to address this crucial issue in a practical way
and at the same time friendly to the environment. We believe in the creation of home and
industrial filters that not only prevent the passage of large plastic waste if not also the
Microplastics to sea water. The idea of the implementation of the filter searches primarily
in the ease for the user and ensure an extra help for the nature.

Awareness Campaign: this campaing it is will be to take care of the environment and we will
show the damage we do

Official Presentation Of The Filter: in this event we going to show the filter, explain why the
people have to use this filter in their home and show how gonna Works.

Filter Advertising On The Streets: will be billboards and posters at bus stops, advertising is
before the release because people understand better the impotence of the filter.

Official Release Of The Filter: From this day the filter will be sold in the market.

informative campaign: It’s like a training of how to use the filter.

 3. METHODOLOGY:

Ocean plastic pollution is one of the largest global environmental threats of our age. In the year,
a millions plastic contaminate seas, lakes, rivers and the consequence is seriously, the animals,
the ecosystem and the humans have been affected by this factor.

Our method is directly attacking the enemy, the plastic, and for the process we need to identify
the pollution areas.

With a special groups in the theme, we distribute the work to identify the areas and start to clean.
When the area is clean we notify and implent a system that inform when the area is affected
again by the pollution, with this system the problem will be less, its say, the correction will be
faster.

Many pollution areas are the public or turistic areas like the beach, parks with big lakes and
another sites that have big natural area, establish a constant system in the area can reduce the
probability of pollution and guide to the people how to help with the enviroment.

In the industries that throw wastes to the river we have to implent a restriction, certificate by the
goverment and in this way indicate to the industres how to throw the wastes without contaminate
the river.

With the control in the public areas and the restriction in the industries, the sea pollution going
to be less and this can be a big contribution to the theme Wasteland that increases every time
because cleaning systems don't work correctly or don't are sufficent.

 4. HUMAN, MATERIAL AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES REQUIRED:

 The financial part:

(we think that the filters are already made).

The greater part of the financial contribution will be provided by us as entrepreneurs of the
project, however we have sponsors related to the topic and different types of companies and
other foundations that help us to fund this project.

 The Human Part:

The idea is to strengthen our campaign for the environment with our working group and
implemented the help of volunteers who want to join our cause. In addition to recruiting
professionals in the subject and different types of speakers who support us in our work.
