1. Identify developing issues
I will send out the message: “protect the environment.” Even though human has become the most powerful resident on earth, we are only one of 1.4 million identified animal species living on the planet. From invertebrate to vertebrate to homo sapience, various organisms coexisted for more than 20,000 years. But the balance among lives is being destroyed by the unstopping increase of human population and activity. In this IE, I will focus on the present state of tropical rain forest destruction to send an alarm on the environment crisis due to human impact. I will suggest saving paper to stop the destruction of forests.
2. Research and analyze issues
Topical rainforest is one of the biomes on earth which covers 6% of the land surface. More than 50% of all the world's plant and animal species live there. On one tree in Peru Amazon, the number of ant species is 43, which is equivalent to the species of ants found in Britain. Tropical rainforests produce 40% of earth's oxygen, soak in carbon dioxide, and help to maintain global weather patterns and precipitation. However, due to human impact, tropical rainforest is disappearing at an astonishing speed. The most severe threat to the rainforest is human intervention for timber, grazing land and agriculture. From year 1990 to 2000, 142,000 km2 of tropical rainforests had been lost, which is equivalent to 5000-8000 m2 every minute of trees being cut. If this goes on, rainforests would disappear in 40 years.
3. Stake out a public position - your sticky message
My sticky message is "Protect the Environment." My focus will be on saving and recycling paper. I spread the message targeting on young people especially students who are one of the biggest consumers of paper.
4. Build social network
My organizational base is my friends, classmates and relatives. I will send E-mail through both computer and cell phone to friends at ICU and friends from elementary to high school. I will send E-mail by computer to my relatives who live in different parts of the world. Therefore my message will be spread to five countries, Japan, China, USA, Canada and France, through four different languages. In addition SNS called Mixi and the class blog will be my organizational base, so that more people can receive my message.
5. IE homepage: Stake out a personal public presence
I will make a poster by Gliffy writing my message and background information. I will post this on the class blog and Mixi. Also, I will send the poster with my blog URL by computer email. I will send the URL of my Gliffy poster with the URL of my blog to cell phones through mailing list. In order to connect me and nodes, nodes to nodes, I will make a “commenting space” on my blog to invite the readers to react on this issue and to encourage their interaction with each other as well.
