About Green Challenge 365 Primary Function: Edukacinis kalendorius

Book Text: „Green Challenge 365“ – tai edukacinis kalendorius, sukurtas skatinti mažinti vienkartinių medinių gaminių naudojimą. Rinkinį sudaro kalendorius su atspausdintu pliku medžiu, lapo formos antspaudas ir žalias antspaudo pagalvėlė. Kiekvieną dieną galima pridėti po vieną lapo antspaudą, kai atsisakoma vienkartinių medinių daiktų, tokių kaip popieriniai puodeliai, mediniai valgymo pagaliukai ir popierinės apsauginės juostelės. Kuo ilgiau dalyvaujama, tuo labiau atspausdintas medis prisipildo žalių lapų. Augantis vaizdas parodo, kiek laiko ir pastangų reikia medžiui užauginti. Kalendorius nemokamai platinamas švietimo įstaigoms.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: This product is a play-type calendar developed to encourage the saving of wooden disposables. Users will have the opportunity to put a leaf-shaped stamp on the calendar once a day for every time they save on wood disposables. As the user actively participates in saving, the tree in the calendar grows richer. In the process, participants realize how much time and effort it takes to grow a tree. This realization raises concerns about the use of disposable wood products and leads to savings.
Dimensions & Packaging: It consists of a calendar 510 mm wide and 625 mm long, with one stamp and a green ink pad.
Tags: Environmental protection, Forest, Green, Sustainability, Tree
Production Technology: Sometimes leaving the other person's role blank is effective for communication. This is because the blanks create interest and curiosity and give the other person an opportunity to fill in the blanks. With this in mind, we designed a calendar with a bare tree to be filled with a green seal. We induced the interaction between the product and the user through the medium of the seal, and wanted to keep the positive momentum of the participants through this fun element.
Design Challenge: We are also considering developing an app to reduce the burden of production costs and increase free distribution.
Research: This product is being distributed free of charge to various educational institutions. This is because we planned this project not to pursue profit, but to inform the public of the healthy values that mankind should share. The fruits of efforts to change perceptions will be as slow but clear as a tree on a calendar. And over time, people will come to realize that the dense forest that protects against natural disasters and extreme weather was for a healthy future for mankind and the earth.
Inspiration: Since the pandemic, the use of wooden disposable products has increased dramatically. The reckless use of wooden disposables can encourage logging and increase the amount of carbon dioxide produced during incineration. It can also cause natural disasters and extreme weather events. Recognizing this fact, we came to sympathize with the necessity of forest protection and initiated a small environmental campaign to induce many people to participate.
Project Duration: This project started from December 2020 and finished in March 2021. This project was conducted in Seoul, the capital of South Korea.
Operation Flow: The act of stamping is like eating popcorn. Just like you can't stop when you touch popcorn, once you stamp it, you want to keep stamping it. This is because when the tree turns green, the participants feel happy and become more motivated. The stamp can only be taken once per day, and the requirements are as follows:

1. Do not use paper cups, wooden chopsticks, and paper sleeves.
2. After washing your hands, use less than 1 piece of paper towel.
3. Use reusable paper instead of new paper.
