shelby thomas is a junior at the university of florida studying marine science and microbiology. she heard of planet forward\u2019s storyfest 2016 through the challenge 2050 director, anthony adenoro. for her submission<\/a>, shelby created a video that focused on reversing global warming through the creation of a device that would orbit the planet collecting greenhouse gases.<\/p>\n

we asked her a few questions to learn more about her entry.<\/p>\n

q: what is your innovation? describe it for those who have never heard of it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

a: <\/strong>this innovation combines chemistry, physics and engineering to create a potential filter device that can help decrease greenhouse gases to a normal healthy state that promotes optimal conditions for life on earth.<\/p>\n

q: what was your inspiration behind this innovation? how did you come up with this idea?<\/strong><\/p>\n

a: <\/strong>my inspiration for the idea came to me when i was sitting in a seminar about beach renourishment. i was listening to all the problems we are facing not only in our oceans but around the globe. i became curious and turned my curiosity to problem solving … i knew in order to help a lot of our problems we must not only stop the addition of greenhouse gases, but begin to decrease them as well.<\/p>\n

q: what was the process behind creating your submission? why did you choose to communicate your innovation through this video format?<\/strong><\/p>\n

a: <\/strong>i applied because i (met) the wonderful director of challenge 2050 and he suggested that i apply for one world … i presented my idea here at the one world event at uf. i decided to share my idea because i truly want this to happen to help better our world. i choose this video format because it was easier for me to voice my idea.<\/p>\n

q: why is this innovation so important to you? why do you think it is one of the most essential methods to help sustainable cities?<\/strong><\/p>\n

a: <\/strong>this innovation is certainly important to me because i see true value in the health of our planet and i truly believe that we can begin to fix the damage we have caused it just takes the right steps to get there.<\/p>\n
