ROOT CAUSES...

The Fishbone Diagram is a very good way to find root causes. We found root causes of 'low awareness about how to save planet earth' to be:

1. In school: the theme of 'Save Earth' is rarely used in Co-curricular activities.
2. There is very low public interest, hence media coverage is less and sponsors shy away from this issue.
3. It's not fun, so young generation is not interested in this issue.  

Why Mr. Ishikawa Why?

As Dr. Ishikawa suggested we did the FISHBONE analysis to find the root causes.

A message from future...

Do you get the message?

What did we learn?

As outcome of our research online and our interview with the teachers, we realized that when we say save planet earth, we actually are saving ourselves, or being more correct our future. The earth will continue to exist, it may not sustain life and it may be hotter or colder than now, but it will be there.
We also understood that Climate Change, Water Shortage, Disappearing Forest, Over Exploitation of Natural Resources, Disappearing Species of Animals are all inter-related.
Humans forget their unique responsibility towards planet earth and burn more carbon products than necessary, in turn Carbon Di-Oxide in the atmosphere increases, this leads to Global Warming, over period of years Climate changes, earth becomes hotter, ground water, very little of which is left, evaporates faster, creating acute shortage if life giving water in many parts, pushing people out of homes, destroying ecosystems and many animals which depend on these fragile ecosystem become extinct.
Story of Gwalior:
Gwalior is experiencing hotter summers over past few years and people are complaining of receding ground water levels, older people talk about a bird named sparrow, which used to be ubiquitous life-form all over Gwalior, now very few left, die in hundreds in the summer due to heat and lack of water, forest cover around Gwalior is receding at an alarming rate, and the trees which are disappearing are not being replaced by new ones. The situation is alarming or sometimes almost hopeless, like in case of sparrows.
Even if government passes resolutions and appoints committees, eventually it is up to us stand up make the difference.

What is at stake? Is it only sparrows? Or few trees? Or may be ground water? Or is it more than that? Is our future safe? Are our future generations safe?

What does our survey say?

Charts are effective way to represent and analyze data collected in the survey!

From these charts we understood few important things:

1. Everyone agrees something is wrong with the earth!
2. People think Fighting the Climate Change and saving the earth from destruction is job given to few organizations and common people can't do anything about it!
3. People like to visit Art Exhibitions rather than listening to lectures or reading newspaper articles!
4. People think their actions have no effect on earth! i.e. They are not aware of their own power!
