PlasticBank

Ryan Erdos

My inspiration was from the company PlasticBank. PlasticBank takes plastic from the waters of the world and cute them down into small sizes for manufacture purposes. This prosese makes the plastic be able to be used again for new products.

Precedent

Amir Jamal

This precedent is not necessarily a company but a variety of everey-day products that are biodegradable. The reason why this is a precedent is that we want to make biodegradable every-day things that are made with plastic that is biodegradable. Some of these items that are in your home that are biodegradable that you might not know are printer paper, paper towels, toilet paper, paper plates, bowls and cups, parts of textbooks and notebooks, paper folders and cardboard boxes.

Patagonia's Support of The Wilderness

Max Gelb

Patagonia works harder than most companies at helping the environment. Patagonia has made repair centers to help bring their carbon footprint down. Patagonia has a philosophy that is, "100% For the Planet." In 2016 they donated 10 million dollars of the money they made from Black Friday to grassroots environmental groups. Patagonia targeting outdoors people allows and helps them support the environment and the wilderness.

Peri is an accessory that clips onto eyeglasses and translates nearby sounds into flashing lights — perfect for those with hearing problems, who sometimes miss out on what’s being said to them, or on noises that could alert them to events occurring nearby.

The design takes some inspiration from video games, which alert the player to nearby threats via a red glow. In games, however, they typically only appear when someone takes damage, while Peri could help the wearer avoid harm.
