Deforestation

Going Further

I learned a lot of things about PYPx and Going Further about actions. In past days I searched and I made some connecting idea but while going further I was worried when I am doing real actions to tell others about deforestation. Action to prevent deforestation were hard ad challenging but when I am trying I feel like I improved with risk taker and reflective skills.

My Central Idea
Our daily actions can affect the forest ecosystem but action to prevent deforestation is not hard.

Who is helping?

My Influential Person

My influential person is Alicia Silverstone because she supported animals and nature so she is connected to SDG 15.

Although saving animals and deforestation is a bit different, I still chose this because deforestation and saving animals are connected in different ways. If we prevent deforestation that means we are saving animals not to lose their habitats.

I believe that people should protect animals and the environment because if there are no trees we can't breathe. So, that means I value the environment, people, and animals by preventing deforestation.

My Actions

My Action #1

First, I took action to inform others by poster because I wanted to make people know about deforestation. This is the biggest poster I've ever made! My action could be considered sustainable because when more people know about deforestation, more people will want to help.

My Action #2

Then, I took action to change my own and/or others' behavior about deforestation by coding a game. I thought it can inform and even entertain everyone so they will be more interested in the topic of deforestation. A challenge was coding is still new to me.

My action could be considered sustainable because games can influence and inspire even young people. It was effective because everyone was interested to play games
and people asked more about deforestation.
