Technologies that can save the Earth By Wataru, Japan, 16 and Ryo, Japan, 17
Introduction • The key to stopping global warming lies in modern communication technology • These are some of our ideas…
Idea #1: Facebook Groups • A lot of teenagers use Facebook • Facebook is an easy way to reach many people quickly and efficiently • For example, people can make Environmental awareness groups on Facebook, which promote improving our environment
Idea #2 TV commercial • TV commercials that promote environment awareness • Unlike regular commercials this one will have many of the world’s presidents in it • By using presidents, people will see the magnitude of global warming and feel the necessity to do something about it

Idea #3 Eco-Friendly GPS • GPS systems on cell phones (in Japan) help navigate people to get to certain locations quickly and cost efficiently • Applying this technology to Global warming, phone companies should provide GPS service which tells people the most eco-friendly way to get to a destination
For example, the navigation system will tell someone to walk one extra station rather than taking the train, or find the shortest distance if they have to go on a taxi • Users should get points every time they go an eco-friendly route, once they reach a certain number of points they should get benefits like lower phone bills
Example: Blue Route: Method of Transportation: Train Time it takes: 2 minutes on train + 1 minute waiting time Cost: 210 yen Train Line: Odakyu Line Station: Seijo Station to Soshigaya okura stations Eco-Points: 13 Green Route: Method of Transportation: Walking Time it takes: 11 minutes Cost: 0 yen Eco-Points: 121
Idea #4 Online Games • After a certain number of hours the online game will suddenly come to a stop • It will require you to go around your neighborhood and pick up trash • After that you must send the picture with a cell phone or through the internet and prove you did it • After an organization verifies you did it, the game will be resumed
In order for this to work it must become a global law that online video games producers must implement this idea in their games • Using the fact that millions of people play online games, cities across the world will become clean in no time
