?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">in my view, the hawaii ocean science and technology park represents several important steps forward. perhaps what stands out most is that the park utilizes a form of sustainable energy that has not yet been harnessed anywhere else in the world. facilitated by otec, the host park is able to take another step forward as an incredible example of sustainable business and development. all of the individual industries within the park are interdependent and draw on the unique qualities of hawai&#8217;i; because of this set-up, many of them are doing work that has never been accomplished before. as i began to write this piece, i tried to decide which planet forward category the host park fell under. was it energy or architecture, food or water, business or science? i&#8217;ve come to the conclusion that the park moves the planet forward in all of these areas. it is supported entirely by renewable energy, which is one reason the park is a model of sustainable architecture for technology and industrial parks. it uses water temperature differences as a source of power, and it revolutionizes the way water is distributed for use in industry. industries within the park are growing food in new ways, whether it is farming shellfish or growing wine grapes. business and sustainable science come together on every level in this park, making its category impossible to define and its influence on the planet impossible to deny.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>finalist:&nbsp;<\/strong>carrick palmer, <em>suny-esf<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>story:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/idea\/bringing-back-bald-eagles\">bringing<\/a><a href=\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/idea\/bringing-back-bald-eagles\"> back bald eagles<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>why did you utilize facts and data to communicate this idea?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>i utilized data and facts in my story because to me being able to have something quantitatively concrete makes the story less abstract than something that&#8217;s more vague. personally i find numbers can help to conceptualize something further than adjectives could alone and provide more emphasis as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>how does the innovation in your piece 2022年卡塔尔世界杯官网
