===** a) the exact nature of the question or hypothesis that the team intends to examine, b) a list of the theoretical concepts that the team expects to be most significant for their analysis, c) a breakdown of roles and assignments for each team member, and d) a short description of the expected final deliverables. **=== After examining our three assignments, we have chosen to focus our assignment on the environment and being environmentally friendly. Often, issues on pollution and the environment are brought up in society. We are constantly moving towards a "greener" more environmentally friendly lifestyle. One large issue we face today is in chemical waste. We have decided to further look into the ideas proposed in Kevin’s assignment 1 as the basis for our final product. Our main concept is to reduce the amount of chemical waste which is often harmful to our environment to help improve the level of pollution. Most of the products we use daily for hygene sucuh as lotion, toothpaste, shampoo, soap and different kind of gel and cream products come in many different containers from plastic to glass and one main issue is containers that use a pump which often wastes quite a bit of the product. However, according to the City of Toronto's research on the usage ability of those different kind of containers, they found out that most of the people dispose of the products when there were still 10-20% left over within the containers, because it was too much of a hassle to use it to the last drop and often throws them out when it gets difficult to pump or pour out of the containers, leading people to believe the product was used 100%. The cycle continues as people purchase more of those products and not fully utilizing all of the product again and again. Furthermore, this will create toxic waste by sending more un-finished chemical waste products to the landfill, because most of those products contain chemicals harmful to the environment. Consequently, it will keep on damaging over earth by water and air pollution. It is a cycle; we are consistently causing more harm to the Earth than we need to by keeping with this cycle. By using the assignment 1 from Kevin, we are going to design a pump that is using the idea of air pressure to pull out the remainder from lotion, cream or gel based containers. We believe, by using this pump, it can save more money by purchase the hygene and beauty products. And more importantly, it can eliminate unnecessary chemical waste from being added to our environment
