Essay On Pollutio Pollution

Litter picking up drone
Pimpama State Secondary College has a problem with litter. All sorts of animals try to eat the rubbish especially birds. The rubbish here is a big problem that needs to be solved, especially since the school is growing and more and more people are enrolling.
Litter is a huge problem at Pimpama that needs to be solved immediately, so we came up with an idea to get drones that pick up rubbish. The drones will help the cleaners by reducing the amount of rubbish they have to pick up every afternoon after school has finished. It will help the flora and fauna thrive because rubbish isn’t always surrounding them. Students seem to litter more at lunch breaks. The drone will have claws to pick up the rubbish and a camera to identify students and buildings so it doesn’t run into them. Background research

11.5 billion dollars are spent every year in cleaning up litter in Australia, this money could be better spent on other things like roads, schools etc. Land pollution has come to be one of the serious concerns that we always have to battle. Litter is harmful to people, animals and most of all the natural environment. Paper takes 6 months to decompose, cigarette butts take 2-5 years, banana peels take 3 months, plastic bags take 10-30 years, gum takes 20-25 years and aluminium cans take 200-400 years to decompose. 9 billion tons of litter end up in the ocean every year.

Specify requirements
The drones will only orbit around Pimpama State secondary college. They will be mainly operating after school so students won’t damage them, but sometimes it will operate at lunch to clean up all rubbish left by students after eating. The drones will have to be charged when on 15%, it will have 100% of battery life. The drones will be self-flying so no one will have to fly it. It will have a camera sensor to identify students and buildings, so it won’t run into them.
