means now keep your hand raised if you
take their sustainable well I guess
there’s no one but okay so many people
want to be sustainable but do you not
know how the majority of people want to
be sustainable but they’re just
sometimes a bit too lazy to do that
you’re maybe the minority that actually
cares about the world and it is
sustainable turned out the lights are
not in use use cyclable bags of
groceries or cheque or sorting your
showering time or it can be carnally all
days make up a good sustainable person
however if you’re my steps first you
shift and you think that we’re not
making a big impact then your
sustainable behaviors they start to drop
us get lazier so I was wondering is
there a way that we can make people more
sustainable long term maybe by appealing
to their self which side of their
personalities how can we convince them
that they can help curb climate change
and benefit from it at the same time
this was a question we got asked when I
attended the terms called blood counts
at University of Maryland for those
pretty conscious about your own
behaviors you’re on the more
sustainability path
honestly I had not done much in the area
of sustainability
until last it until last summer resident
aidid three full weeks of camp
unsurprisingly the course sustainability
plus innovation
to not get as much attention as others
over 200 people enrolled and there were
only eight people to this course and I
was the youngest so the course was
revolved around a framework from us
design thinking it is a freeware used by
designers to meet people’s needs and
find solutions to their problems there
are three main steps first is to another
ties and understand stakeholders next is
to identify the problem and I get
solutions and lastly is testing out the
prototype our interest in my project was
on food waste we have to sit in the
cafeteria for an hour just to observe
people yes it was hustling we’re
stalkers by understanding what people
thought on climate change in food waste
it made us better understand their
behavioral problems I noticed that some
people use the trash bin whereas some
cared enough to use the compound for
them recycling bin the next stage was
brainstorming and intensifying the
problem we came up with a question how
can you make producers were involved in
providing reusable bags so that the
consumers can reuse and recycle more and
next was the prototyping stage where we
had to recreate our solutions into
tangible models for better visualization
here I have our Tata the Go Green gift
box where there will be too many usable
bags among other items to act as an
incentive for people
for the environment problem is many
people want to be sustainable and they
don’t know how as I mentioned before in
this gift box there will be small
information cards that the owner can
share with his or her client self who
lack such knowledge and domino effect
can then take hold as people start
sharing these gift boxes apart from the
food waste project my classmates and I
explored pedestrian safety house it
really into sustainability well driving
causes an enormous amount of pollution
and we all should honor those who choose
to walk or cycle to send driving but if
we cannot ensure our safety on these
roads then barely anyone which shares to
whomping bikes like this Tommy we try to
figure out ways to make people leave and
cross behind and two interlocking by
reducing car use very humbled an
environment a great deal and also
healthy people save money on fuel
remember pedestrians are there to burn
calories not fuels and we also respect
them besides this my classmates and I
also explored something about fish
stores when I came back to Thailand I
thought about how I can use less money
and also help the environment at the
same time their stores like the dog
fighting mastermind for those who are
not shy want their stores are there are
stores that sell use items that are
still in good condition the products
could be appliances electronics both and
clothes
and much more according to the World
Wildlife Fund playstyles litres of water
is needed to produce what children apart
equivalent to a single t-shirt and a
pair of jeans the problem in Thailand is
twofold
on one hand there’s social stigma to
bike these products and if we have work
with college students who usually don’t
have a lot of money things may work out
better also we have to shift the image
of these stores and make them more
trendy and therefore more appealing I
truly understand that many people even
some of my friends always want to be in
trend and always buy new products but to
make up for that why not donate old
clothes to charity but those can mean
this will help the society and
environment a good deal so just by
waiting for professionals to help with
climate change is not enough everyone
can make a bigger impact when and
youngji’s following one followed the
Design Thinking framework and tries to
emphasize that those who are not acting
sustainably and finding solutions to
them to raise the awareness of
sustainability by talking about them
with your friends
3 think before you buy new products and
remember to donate and visit their
stores more often you don’t earn
intangible rewards from being
sustainable you’re awarded with
gratitude and pride everyone should take
action now if not now when
so sustainability is not profitable only
in business but it is also beneficial to
your own health and
mommy thank you [Applause]
