Challenge Brief - Ostrero
Our challenge to you is to:
Design a product or service that will DESIGN OUT WASTE in your school
Why does this matter?
-
We’re sure you know - we’re living in a Climate Emergency where animals, plants and the atmosphere are suffering because of human activity.
-
A huge part of the problem is caused by how much we BUY and how much we WASTE. Stuff is taken out of the ground, made into something that we use and then thrown away, without worrying too much about where it will end up.
What could my product or service be?
Start by thinking about when and where there is the most waste in your school. Is it at lunchtime, break time or in the classroom? Is it in how people get to school or in the things that they bring in their packed lunches and schoolbags? You could design anything that cuts down on waste at home or at school, such as:
-
Multi-functional furniture or playground equipment
-
Vehicles to get people to and from school
-
Food to compost
-
What food is served in and how
-
Halloween/World Book Day costume sharing service
There are so many choices - we can’t wait to hear your ideas!
