It is important that we have information and research regarding environmental effects and issues. Netflix has an amazing range of documentaries on wildlife and the environment. The one we have concentrated on is called "Virunga". The documentary focuses on the the destruction of Virunga National Park mostly for oil and shows how Gorillas are affected by it.

A site found dedicated to displaying facts about paper wastage has a live feed of how many tons of paper have been produced in the world this year. The first line from the article, "In today’s electronic age, people are starting to consider going paperless. But there’s still a long way to go before we lose our dependence on this very important human product.". Showing that we are not far off leaving unnecessary print behind but people are still dependant on it despite it's environmental effects.

The article above shows just how destructive we can be as a society. Just 90 companies out of the world billions are responsible for more than a third of the worlds emissions. This is incredible, although the article was written in 2013 much of it is still relevant to this day. It can be seen why the Paris Agreement has been put into place but maybe we as individuals can do more.
The Paris Agreement, "...the agreement aims to strengthen the ability of countries to deal with the impacts of climate change." Hopefully this is something that continues to happen as we strive to find more ways to help our planet no matter how small. Some countries do no believe in this agreement therefore it makes it more important to put our minds together and keep pushing for new ideas.

We aim to help save the world and the destruction of trees and wildlife with the design of this app in whatever small way we can. This is the sort of information we will continually be looking at to inspire us and give us more knowledge for the cause.
