For Assignment #2, I initially began with “Homelessness in NYC” but after a few days, decided to change to another topic. I wanted to do a topic on technology and its effects on climate change. I wanted to narrow down the topic to something specific, and also seemingly harmless, so that the audience will be motivated to change their habits for a larger cause.
Topic: How junk email contributes to climate change
Stakeholders: Email users, businesses who send junk email, companies that host email servers, earth’s climate, humans on earth
Critical Analysis: How does ignoring subscription/junk emails has a carbon footprint
Form/Affordances: A possible form I am considering is a website that demonstrates the impact of people’s personal junk mail.
Intended experience/outcome: The goal is to motivate people to look through their emails and unsubscribe to emails they frequently ignore.
