About Project
How does waste get tackled? Do we produce too much of it? With urbanization and increase in population, waste management has become an increasingly important topic. Therefore, a superhero today would be that person who has superpowers to manage waste. The problem you need to solve is to imagine a superhero and the powers and tools this hero must have in order to reduce waste, increase awareness on recycling and ways for disposal of waste. Think in terms of a superhero for your community and then scale it to city wide. What are the additional powers needed then?
