50 Ways to Help the Planet

50 Ways to Help the Planet


Small actions x lots of people = Big Changes

Identify one change that you will promote.  Using Adobe Fireworks, you are going to create an animation to promote your small change to make a big change.  In your animation, you need to include:

  • Why is it a problem / what's its negative impact on the planet?
  • What is the small change / how do we do it?
  • How the change will make a difference?
Think about the type of people you are trying to appeal to and make sure your animation targets them.
