The Final Stand (TFS) and Team ThinkOcean are inviting applications from students to join as part of their outreach team.
About The Final Stand (TFS) and Team ThinkOcean
The Final Stand is a student-run climate change advocacy, law, and policy initiative at the University under the mentorship of Justice Michael D. Wilson of the Hawaii Supreme Court.
They are primarily focused on increasing climate change literacy and drafting policy and legislation to aid our fight against the biggest threat to our collective existence. Under the Final Stand, the ThinkOcean team is an autonomous project-based vertical, which is affiliated with the global organisation ‘ThinkOcean’ consisting of networks across the world.
ThinkOcean aims to address oceanic and land-based environmental issues through increasing student awareness and participation in environment-related projects. It is a network of chapters across educational institutions and region-based councils and facilitates the decentralisation required to effectively address such concerns.
About the Clear Water Crusade Project
The project will look at the micro-plastics content in the oceanic and freshwater bodies in India. There is a two-fold vision for The Clear Water Crusade.
Firstly, the project would aim to raise awareness about the effects of micro-plastics on the different stakeholders that are affected by the change in the composition of water bodies in India. The project would focus on envisioning a future where more of the population in India know of the existence of micro-plastics and where steps will be taken, albeit small, towards mitigating the risk micro-plastics pose towards the environment and all its proponents.
Secondly, the campaign will focus on trying to find solutions to reduce the number of microplastics in the ocean by adopting mechanisms to clean freshwater bodies in isolated areas first and then move towards cleaning the beaches and the oceans of India.
Role and Responsibilities
- The project requires education on micro-plastics to be provided to the general population.
- In order to give accurate information, the team would need to contact professionals and industry experts to meet with them and discuss the problem of micro-plastics at length.
- The outreach team, consisting of 2 people, will be responsible for the research to obtain the contacts of these industry experts along with communication with the latter.
- They will be required to convince these experts and professionals to provide insight for the project.
