The Challenge | Warming Planet, Cool Ideas
Your challenge is to examine existing space and Earth projects and systems and adapt them into specific technologies that help stabilize or improve the Earth’s weather, and/or eliminate processes that cause global warming. Your solution could be a technology, a movement, an idea – let your imagination have no bounds!

Our project is a filter that uses bacteria to clean the air from greenhouse gases like CO2 & Methane
Resume :
The main cause of global warming are greenhouse gases (GHG) mainy CO2 & Methane , so our challenge is trying to reduce their emissions from the main sources by using an efficient,an autonomic and a natural workforce that cleans the mess we made !
Our idea is to find a bacteria that consumes CO2 or Methane to cultivate them in areas with higher polluted gas concentration in order to degrade theses gases into non toxic components .
Our product (the filter) has a simple principle : capture air and pass it through our filter that contains bacteria and we get a less polluted air.
