Our team visited a number of people and associations to share and get feedback on our solution and to learn some information that would help us better our solution. One of them was ACWD (Alameda County Water District). Our team arranged a tour of their facility to learn a bit about how water is affected by pollution and what the society is already doing about it. We learned that if a bit of pollution enters an aquifer, river, pond, lake, or other small body of water, it can permanently pollute the entire water source. This is because pollution spreads fast through water. We also learned that there are a few ways to clean up the pollution in water, but they are very expensive and time consuming. Also, if the pollution has spread throughout the water body, it is impossible to filter out. Which is why it is easier to help the environment by stopping the pollution from entering the water in the first place.
We also went to the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito where we took a tour and got feedback on our solution. They said that our solution would greatly improve the ocean and environment.
To learn more about car engines, we also saw a mechanic in Warm Springs, Fremont. We learned about how we could make a filter that would fit under the car without disturbing all the machinery already there.
