describe it&nbsp;for those who have never heard of it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>a:&nbsp;<\/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<p><strong>q: what was your inspiration behind this innovation? how did you come up with this idea?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>a:&nbsp;<\/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 &#8230; 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<p><strong>q: what was the process behind creating your submission? why did you choose to communicate your innovation through this video format?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>a:&nbsp;<\/strong>i applied because i (met) the wonderful director of challenge 2050 and he suggested that i apply for one world &#8230; 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<p><strong>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<p><strong>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<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>(editor&#8217;s note: answers edited for grammar and spelling.)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>shelby thomas&#8217; video&nbsp;focused on reversing global warming through the creation of a device that would orbit the planet collecting greenhouse gases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9284,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4902],"tags":[2558,591,3764,963],"storyfest_categories":[],"class_list":["post-12796","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-colleges-education","tag-colleges-and-universities","tag-storyfest","tag-storyfest-winner","tag-university"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- this site is optimized with the yoast seo plugin v24.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>meet the storyfest finalists: shelby thomas - planet forward<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/story\/meet-the-storyfest-finalists-shelby-thomas\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_us\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"meet the storyfest finalists: shelby thomas - planet forward\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"shelby thomas&#039; video&nbsp;focused on reversing global warming through the creation of a device that would orbit the planet collecting greenhouse gases.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/story\/meet-the-storyfest-finalists-shelby-thomas\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"planet forward\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/planetforward.org\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-04-19t19:28:30+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"krista celentano\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@planet_forward\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@planet_forward\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"krista celentano\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"article\",\"@id\":\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/story\/meet-the-storyfest-finalists-shelby-thomas\/#article\",\"ispartof\":{\"@id\":\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/story\/meet-the-storyfest-finalists-shelby-thomas\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"krista celentano\",\"@id\":\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/#\/schema\/person\/f653aed110d24983557eb8909a2017b5\"},\"headline\":\"meet the storyfest finalists: shelby thomas\",\"datepublished\":\"2016-04-19t19:28:30+00:00\",\"datemodified\":\"2016-04-19t19:28:30+00:00\",\"mainentityofpage\":{\"@id\":\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/story\/meet-the-storyfest-finalists-shelby-thomas\/\"},\"wordcount\":382,\"commentcount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/#organization\"},\"keywords\":[\"colleges and universities\",\"storyfest\",\"storyfest winner\",\"university\"],\"articlesection\":[\"colleges &amp; education\"],\"inlanguage\":\"en-us\",\"potentialaction\":[{\"@type\":\"commentaction\",\"name\":\"comment\",\"target\":[\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/story\/meet-the-storyfest-finalists-shelby-thomas\/#respond\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"webpage\",\"@id\":\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/story\/meet-the-storyfest-finalists-shelby-thomas\/\",\"url\":\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/story\/meet-the-storyfest-finalists-shelby-thomas\/\",\"name\":\"meet the storyfest finalists: shelby thomas - planet forward\",\"ispartof\":{\"@id\":\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/#website\"},\"datepublished\":\"2016-04-19t19:28:30+00:00\",\"datemodified\":\"2016-04-19t19:28:30+00:00\",\"inlanguage\":\"en-us\",\"potentialaction\":[{\"@type\":\"readaction\",\"target\":[\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/story\/meet-the-storyfest-finalists-shelby-thomas\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"website\",\"@id\":\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/\",\"name\":\"planet forward\",\"description\":\"inspiring stories to 2022年卡塔尔世界杯官网
