    1. The total plastic footprint of the team for one year is 81.6 kg. 2. The team created a prototype called a plastic table soccer board made from reused household waste that saves 4.1 kg of carbon emissions per year, or 309kg over its lifetime. 3. The team proposes a holistic solution including reducing plastic use, recycling, tracking carbon footprints, city planning with tree planting requirements, and penalties for non-compliance to contribute to reducing global warming.

    1. Calculate and mention the total plastic footprint of your team for one year from the following
    link:

    Carbon Footprints of Our Team:

    Name Carbon Footprint (Per Year)

    Tarifa Akhter Chowdhury 12.1 kg

    Raya Noshin Mahpara 20.8 kg

    Rubaet Ahmed Esti 14.2 kg

    Wasik Bin Omar 15.5 kg

    Shahrookh 19 kg

    Total Carbon Footprint = 81.6 kg

    2. Describe the project of reusing household waste and reproducing a recycled product

    prototype. Mention how much carbon footprint your team managed to reduce through this

    project, using the above link.

    Prototype Name:

    Plastic Table Soccer Board

    Description:

    Global warming is increasing day by day at an alarming rate. The main causes are

    deforestation, fossil fuel burning, unplanned urbanization, and many more. We can

    already notice the impact of the increase of greenhouse gas in our atmosphere.

    The sea-level rise, the seasonal change, and scorching heat result from global

    warming. The existence of Co2 is important for human existence, but an excessive

    amount of Co2 is life-threatening. We need to control it. The main production of Co2 gas

    is in our household. So we have to start in our day-to-day life to reduce the usage of CO2.

    In this regard, we came up with this project. "A table soccer board" shows us how

    to manage these co2 products to reuse them and prevent this co2 emission from our little

    part. In this project, we used a half-broken plastic drum, aluminum pipes,8 plastic bottles,

    a plastic hardboard, a plastic bowl, and corks. These elements we would probably burn to

    make new things, releasing a huge amount of carbon. Instead of that, we reuse it and

    make something that can be useful for our benefit. We can set up this soccer board in a

    restaurant or play zone to attract the crowd and gain financial benefit from it. The total
    4

    elements we used to reproduce the soccer board saves up to 4.1 kg per year, and for the

    lifetime, the amount is 309kg.

    3. Propose a holistic solution (from the external business environment dimensions) of

    your carbon emissions to contribute to saving the earth from global warming.

    Ans:

    We live in the era of technology and innovation, passing the phase of the fourth

    industrial revolution. Life is easier and fast forward with the increasing development of

    technology. The astonishing skyscrapers and other luxuries are handy now in the urban

    area. Each nation is blooming with mega projects. On the contrary, global warming is

    also increasing gradually. Burning fossil fuels, deforestation and centralization are some

    of the root causes of global warming.

    Moreover, this did not take place in a single day. Thus, the journey to decrease

    co2 emissions should be lengthy and sustainable. Every individual should start the trip by

    reducing the use of plastic-made products, and we should work to find alternatives. The

    existing plastic products should be recycled, and we should keep track of our CO2

    footprint. The universal average of Co2 footprint is 5 tons, and the target milestone of

    co2 footprint is taking it to 2 tons.

    Proper city planning and the new law regarding tree plantation should be

    introduced. While purchasing a plot, a decent amount of space should be allocated for

    tree plantations. Rooftop gardening or any tree plantation should be encouraged. If the

    rule is not followed, a person should be penalized. The updated Emission Gap Report

    states that we can reduce 5.9 GT CO2 if we put a full stop to deforestation. As it seems

    impossible in the current scenario, tree plantations should be made compulsory for every

    household.
