1. Monitoring method: Install sensors to track air quality in the area
- Criteria: Accuracy of data, cost effectiveness, ease of maintenance
- Constraints: Availability of suitable sensor technology, access to power sources, potential interference from surrounding infrastructure
2. Minimizing method: Implement a recycling program for waste management in the area
- Criteria: Effectiveness in reducing waste, community participation, cost efficiency
- Constraints: Availability of recycling facilities, education and outreach resources, enforcement of recycling policies
3. Data collection: Gather information on current levels of waste generation and recycling rates in the area
- Questions: How much waste is being produced in the area? What percentage of waste is currently being recycled? What are the main barriers to recycling in the community?
- Follow-up questions: Are there any specific types of waste that are not being properly managed? How can the community be encouraged to increase their recycling efforts?
4. Data analysis: Create charts/graphs to illustrate trends in waste generation and recycling rates over time
- Charts/graphs: Bar graph showing the amount of waste produced annually, pie chart displaying the breakdown of different types of waste, line graph depicting recycling rates over the past decade
5. Presentation: Develop a presentation outlining the monitoring and minimizing methods, along with the data collected and analyzed
- Presentation components: Introduction to the design problem, explanation of the monitoring and minimizing methods, data analysis findings, recommendations for minimizing human impact on the environment
