2. EDUCATE YOUR ELDERSinsight
People are not aware of the fact they are
wasting water, the problem needs to be
personalised
idea
Empower children to educate their elders &
solve the problem:
This involves:
– Educate children who’s wasting water and how they’re wasting it (their parents &
teachers), the children may even pester their parents when they spot them performing
wasteful activities
– “Be different from your parents by saving water”(the new rebellion)
– Run a competition for the children to come up with a conserve water campaign
(thus creating a follow on campaign)
– Seeding in schools
– Belonging: Be the best group/school in competition
– Copying: Seeing each other do it
– Physical / Visible: Newsfeeds, youtube
