The E-bill system

In daily lives, we often receive piles of useless and annoying paper receipts. Approximately 9,600,000 trees are cut down each year just to produce paper receipts! It is time for us to say goodbye and replace them with a brand new electronic e-bill system. This system mainly involves a customer to hold his smart phone against an electronic reader next to the cashier. All details of that purchase transaction (e.g. time, date, items purchased) will be synced to a new function on Facebook called “My Transaction Record”. Thus a customer will not receive paper receipts anymore. He can track down his purchase record in an organized way on Facebook and also use the share function on Facebook to tell his friends about any hot deals around the city! This e-bill system will not only reduce paper waste, but also provides a convenient bill compiling system for a customer. It saves the environment and also keeps up with the advanced technology, creating a better and more sustainable future.

2 'C's for the Future - Green Society

PROBLEM This report provides ideas and evaluation of solving global warming. It has been our major concern to present the solution to this problem and it goes along with fun.Aiming at improving pollution problem of our globe, ‘Creating’ and ‘Cutting’ are the two concepts we introduce, which creating means ‘making’ renewable energy to our world and cutting refers to reduce pollutants IDEA / VISION A.‘Creating’ The first part is creating, we are going to implement the generation of renewable energy resources in extensive leisure urban areas in the city. By utilizing the technology of Piezoelectricity, it is possible to generate power through walking on special floors. Another interesting solution would be the installation of solar energy cell in umbrellas. We have put the family as an essential element into this technology, as it will bring out fun during having family activities.Encourage the use of renewable energy in various facilities can get more people involved in the earth’s protection whilst having fun in leisure activities B.‘Cutting’ The second part of the report mainly describes reducing pollutants. Two methods are implied to introduce the concept of ‘cut’. People can share their environmental experiences through scanning the QRCODE and create a connection to a number of online social networking platforms and publications on the social network systems will help the users to earn virtual coins in some applications to encourage participation. Education on green environment through the use of smart phones in the periods while people are queuing is also one of the ways to protect environment.By installing screens to play interesting videos involving green education in places where people queue, so as to raise the public’s environmental awareness in times. IMPACT ON FUTURE AND SUSTAINABILITY By combining both concepts, we establish the ultimate goal as a “Green Society”. Leisure activities which are fun and enjoyable can also be done to save the world at the same time. The belief of having a green society is sustainable involves a long term change in the infrastructure and also the mindset of the people of going green.With just a little change, one can affect the world market and in the longer term, it can be strived to provide a healthier and better environment for the future.
