Here is my 50 ways to save the earth. I found it on the internet websites. 


1.  Change your light to light bulbs.
2.  Use natural lighting whenever possible.
3.  Turn off your electrical machines instead of switching them to stand by.
4.  Remove electrical appliances from the socket.
5.  Turn lights off for 1 minute.
6.  Buy sustainably produced food.
7.  Set air condition 24 degrees or high
8.  Refuse plastic bags and use cloth bags instead.
9.  Recycle waste.
10.Get vegetarian once a week.
11.Improve the ambience and dine by candle.
12.Give it away (before you throw something maybe somebody else need it).
13.Use rechargeable batteries.
14.Pay bills online

Design Project B

In Design Authorship project, I would like to do something that I concern or interest and this moment I'm concerning about global warming. my idea came out with green design or eco design book.

Here is mapping of my project


After I did mapping, I was researching global warming information. I got a lot of global warming details. For example, next 50 years the world temperature is going to increase, Increasing of disasters and there are many ways to solve the planet but no ones can prove it is going to be like that. However, for me I think it is going to be real. That was the beginning of my design process.

My idea is called 50/50 because people have a chance to live 50/50 in next 50 years. This book is going to show 50 ways to save the earth.
