Top Factors to climate change:
What ends up in landfills ?
Factors we can influence through
design:
waste management— specifically
manage landfill
Online -> google -> chrome extension
Deforestation
Agriculture
Industrial processes and
waste management
Food — releases methane during
decomp
Clothing — microplastic pollution
Fast fashion is extmrely accessable and attractive to everyone, being affordable—but in reality will end up
costing them more in the future because of replacement purchases.
Climate change is cused by many factors, however, in order to tackle a large problem like climate change
and sustainability, we decied to focous more directly on the causes of the largest issues of pollution
Additionally, food waste is caused by confusion in expired dates and best before dates, and poor meal
planning prep, leading to people throwing out food too early, or not using ingredients until it's too late
Food waste and fast fashion are the top two drivers to pollution, having 1.3 billion pounds of food waste and
92 million lbs of fast fashion is produced and dumped every year.
Lumr is a environmental buddy chrome extention that 'looms' over useres online purchases to give insight
on duribility of item, realistic food time stand and informational warnings of products to prevent, or educate
users on creating more landfill.
How might we use design and technology to make
climate change awareness and sustainable action easier
to understand and practice in everyday life?
What type of issue should we tackle?
Overview
Conclusion
Walmart— Lumr's caution funciton
Uniqlo — Lumr's eco friendly rec's
While judges in the designaton agreed that this idea was good, they couldnt look over the design.
Both functions are applicable vise versa
Unconsciously, I believed that the judges could understand the vision the same way I did—however
without a proper coherent design to lead their imaginations, the translation was lost.
Font adjustment
Walmart
Uniqlo
Text was too small and illegible for pannelist to see
interfered with their ability to quickly grasp key information
and follow the flow of our presentation.
During pitch, we did not stick with the user's journey
interfered with properly guiding judges through
the extention
Learning curve
Just because it looks good, doesnt mean
it is good
Final Changes
Accessability
User journey

Where can we monitor the both?:
