Clesean

Inspiration

The world produces 8 million tons of plastic waste in the ocean every year. These wastes threaten the life of at least 800 under water species, including seabirds, sea turtles, marine mammals, and fish. Indonesia is also not spared from the problem of plastic waste in the ocean. The accumulation of wastes in the ocean may be caused by the drift of garbage from the coast or the trash from the river drifting to the estuar, and as you know, Indonesia is a tropical country that has a lot of beaches. And in 2018, a sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) carcass was found in the waters of Kapota Island, Wakatobi National Park, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. It had nearly 6kg (13 lbs) of plastic waste in its stomach. Thats scary right? That's why, with this app we try to minimize the production of marine debris, especially in Indonesia. One way is by cleaning the beach. Beach clean-up activities can help minimize the problem caused by ocean debris and danger inflicted on marine life as a result of plastic pollution. So, not only you can keep the environment clean, but you can also safe the life of underwater species.

What it does

This apps will help you find an upcoming beach clean-up event for you to join. Or you can do your own beach clean up and tell us so that we can pick up the wastes you got and recycle it

How we built it

I have this question in my mind for so long already, are we able ro recycle beach wastes? So the first 3 hours, i try to find the answer for that and do research about marine plastic pollution and beach clean-up activity. After that, i look for some mobile apps design that already exists and think about how i can make this app as interesting as possible to attract not only people who are aware of the enviromental problems, but also people who new to that. I told my really close friends about this idea and asked for opinions. After that i start working on the design with adobe illustrator, and figma to make the clickable protype. And i finally make the presentation and quickly record the video.

Challenges we ran into

This is the first time i work alone for mobile app design.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I was able to finished the design on time, exactly how i planned it. And i did the presentation alone without feeling nervous.

What we learned

Before, i just know that there is a lot of plastic waste in the ocean, but because of this project i know the detail about it now. And i learned how to quickly solve problem and do design alone in the limited amount of time.
