High-Level Project Summary
We are the GREEN GANG and have worked on various solutions to reduce climate change. Many of the solutions need not be described in detail because they are very easy to understand from the adverse affects described by us. Some of the solutions are listed below: - Stop excessive deforestation for making items like furniture, clothes etc. -Try to reduce the intake of non veg. - Try using public transport, cycles or electric cars. - Plant as many trees/saplings as possible. -Turn off electricity when not in need. We have also listed some major affects of climate change like: -Cardiovascular issues -Neurodevelopmental issues - Respiratory issues CHANGE YOURSELF, CHANGE THE WORLD...

Detailed Project Description
Our project explains about the effects of climate change on humans, the causes and tips for reduction. Our project explains that with hard work and dedication, we, the human race can change the fait of Earth. The GREEN GANG Hopes that us humans should put some effort to save our environment and that people can realize about our deteriorating biodiversity, environment, Earth. For discussions, Zoom ,WhatsApp, for the creative process, PowerPoint, In Shot for display, YouTube.
It's mainly is based on 'CLIMATE CHANGE'. Climate Change is one of the worst scenarios taking place in the current world. It is affecting humans, animals, plants and all the biodiversity that exists. It's a type of topic which is supposed to be spread like a virus so that people can help change the world. Our team has taken all the possible issues and cons of the climate change.. This is not about saving earth, it's about saving ourselves. And for this, we need to save the biodiversity around us. After all, everything on earth is interlinked.
Now a days, children are born with various health issues like down syndrome.. Maybe, we can help our fellas by each taking a small step to reduce pollution. We are releasing immense amount of Carbon gases... Guess what, the ozone layer is tearing apart too.. Now we are gonna get direct sun's UV rays. While researching, we got to know that children are getting grey headed due to climate change. People suffer 'Alzheimer's' due to high exposure to pollution.. Similarly we have shown many ways by which climate change can ruin us and or planet. Hence, we need to take steps to save it and ourselves. Human activities are rapidly altering the make-up of our atmosphere and in doing so are warming it up. The atmosphere works like a blanket around the rocky Earth, trapping solar heat that would otherwise be radiated straight back out to space. By doing so, it increases the surface temperature from a chilly -18º C to a balmy +15º C, and makes life on Earth possible.
By mass burning of fossil fuels and biomass, humanity is increasing the proportion of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping greenhouse gases found in the atmosphere. Going by scientists’ current best models, the average global temperature could increase by anything from 1.5 to 5º C plus by the century’s end. The full consequences of this temperature shift for the dynamic system that is our climate can currently only be guessed at.
Our video was created to educated people mainly about climate change and its impacts. We hope that people learn from it and act upon it.
LIVE GREEN, LIVE LONG.

Hackathon Journey
It was a new experience from which we learnt a lot, but to be honest it was very hectic. Once we typed everything in our project description, it was all gone. We all faced difficulties to make the video. But, we learnt many new terms and information related to climate change. We pushed the problems aside and didn't give up. After all, the fruit of hard work is sweet. A special thanks to our friends and family for supporting us throughout our journey.
