eco-Tricorder
Summary:
Full Description
The vision for this application is that it will have the capacity to provide information concerning water quality, watershed quality, air quality, and a variety of other pieces of environmentally related information so as to expose the user to the realities of their surroundings. Additionally, this application allows individuals to not only pinpoint their geographic locations and about a 30 mile radius around their location, but it places them in their legislative districts so as to allow them to learn who they can begin to contact so as to turn around, if necessary, a situation of concern. This application synthesizes data together which has never before been compiled in this manner so as to achieve top levels of transparency and to increase citizen participation in the democratic process.
Theoretical description
Transparency is a notion which is tossed around often times during periods of election or scandal. The goal of this application is allow for a window of transparency to be open at all times as it pertains to environmental and climate change. Awareness and awareness through connectedness are theoretically the mile makers which must be surpassed in order for mobilization and action to be reached. In order for those realities of what environmental and climate change will do to our planet and species to reach the surface of our societies routine, those mile makers of awareness and awareness through connectedness must be focused on. Once awareness is achieved, mobilization and a shift from an apathetic attitude to an active attitude is far easier to instigate.
