POP Projects

Cambio colectivois an organization in Mexico City that seeks to promote environmental awareness through dialogue and collective actions. Their goal is to generate, in community, a change towards a more just and environmentally responsible society to achieve a sustainable future. Their activities range from implementing educational projects to environmental regeneration and promoting reconnection with nature and society. They work towards making information on sustainability issues accessible and creating spaces for exchange of ideas. Some of the activities they currently (as of Dec 2020) develop include webinars, podcasts, talks, dissemination of projects, reforestation drives, support for rural communities, and so on. Furthermore, this project raises awareness about the importance of youth action on environmental issues.

The main objective of this project is to install a specialized center to train active eco-citizenship of populations surrounding fragile ecosystems, in adapting to climate change and SDGs.The project consists of launching a pilot theme park that will serve as a modelof ecological life in the community, emulating the functioning of an urban ecosystemin harmony with its surroundings. The 1-hectare park, which will be installed in an area bordering the city and a natural reserve, will have 6 basic modules: ecological habitat for residents and visitors, ecology laboratory,meteorological station, a clean energy station, a recycling center and agenetic reproduction for the restoration of the natural environment. Other accessory modules include beekeeping museum and bird observatory, auditorium, restaurant, ecological store, multiple uses office, cultural and exhibition areas. They will be integrated through bioclimatic architecture, environmentally friendly materials and tropical landscaping.The Park will operate with an automated system for monitoring the flow of materialand energy, with an objective of making it eco-efficient and regulating emissions and capturingof CO2. Some of the perceived impacts include providing ecological products and services to the local and floating population, training 100 eco-entrepreneurs annually in local green businesses, promoting school and scientific ecotourism in more than 4000 participants per year, and so on.

The study consists of the evaluation of 22 renewable energy analysis software currently on the market to measure the competitive viability of a new software. Through this study, the reader has information that allows to identify the benefits of solar energy for heat generation.

The project focusses on generating sustainable production systems of essential oils, which allows the economic regeneration of indigenous people. Through this, the frequent deforestation and plundering of plant and animal species can be mitigated. The objective of the project is to generate socioeconomic development protocols through the manufacture of essential oils and to take advantage of the technological development carried out through the design and construction of mobile and modular essential oil manufacturing machines.

“Mishra Sweep Tech” is an innovation of an autonomous vehicle which will be driven by Artificial Intelligence to clean up the beaches and also the roads to tackle the global waste crisis. The project also involves stakeholder engagement, promoting awareness against the plastic crisis, and generating employment from plastic products.

The objective of this project is to create a plan that is scientifically accurate and feasible to modify plastic in a manner that animals recognize that it is harmful. All species have a stimulus and this project seeks to ignite that stimulus. While creating an alternative to plastic use is important, there is a need to focus on protecting animals from plastic ingestion.

The project focusses on the large-scale reuse of plastic waste and its influence on the economy through a prototype model. By attempting to create a circular economy model, the project will bring awareness on appropriately reusing one’s daily-use plastic waste and having a sustainable lifestyle.

This project will employ creative medium to spread consciousness about the issue of plastic pollution and its impact on animals and the ecosystem. They may be any art form or hobby including poster making, dance, drama, using eco-bricks, social media, and so on. The activities include campaigning, organizing workshops, creating partnerships with groceries stores and schools, making of eco-brinks among others.

This project seeks to spread knowledge about aquifer storage and recovery as it helps people conserve water during crisis and droughts. The objective is to make available relevant information to ensure easy comprehension and execution of the project. Aquifer storage and recovery helps increase water supply during shortages and reduce water losses associated with leakage and evaporation.
