This section mainly focuses on the design specifications. Our client wants the module located on "Bulldog Mobile" created using "MODO". Our client wants the module tiles to pull information from the sustainability website to display within the application and have engaging information to inspire students to get involved. We want to add two tiles, one tile will calculate the carbon footprint and the other will give alternatives on how to reduce the carbon footprint. The client wants the application to be automatically updated if the website is updated.Item Capstone Project: Implementing The City of Duluth's Keep Duluth Clean Campaign within the UMD Community(2020-05-10) Nielsen, Stephanie; Moser, Jaeger; Smith, HunterItem The Impact of Sustainability on Student Engagement(2020) Deno, RachelItem Water bottle consumption at UMD(2009-05-13) Erickson, Amber; Lincoln, Hollie; Solberg, Sarah; Schmitt, Ian; Hanson, DavidWater is increasingly being seen as a saleable commodity, despite its vital importance to life, and is in turn fueling an unsustainable industry. Our research describes the energy, economic, and environmental costs involved with bottled water. It is our goal to greatly reduce bottled water consumption at UMD. This goal is realistic because of the university?s vicinity to one of the largest freshwater sources in the world, Lake Superior. We conducted a blind water taste test to analyze current water bottle trends on campus, interviewed various representatives in areas relevant to the topic, and researched what other universities have done to decrease water bottle usage. Our conclusion is that water bottle usage is mostly a convenience issue, and we suggest methods to dispel this by encouraging sustainable water practices among incoming freshmen and increasing overall awareness throughout the university.Item Sustainable Living at UMD(2011) Levendoski, Nate; University of Minnesota Duluth.
