Challenge 

 What will be the future of earth look like ? The ecosystem has been negatively dominated by   synthetic plastics and the resulting plastic pollution . Plastic does provide some beneﬁts to society   and it allowed us to advance modern technology , safety , and health . But these developments come   at a cost ; Plastic pollution . The challenge is to reduce this pollution by limiting the use of plastic . I   aim to decrease the use of plastic bags by producing cloth bags . This will make our environment   sustainable hence we can give a better place to our future generations to live in . This is a huge   challenge for people to shift from plastic bags to fabric bags . Plastic bags are in use for a very long   time . It will be difﬁcult for society to spend a little more on cloth bags and make this their habit of   not using synthetic bags . 

 Selection and Application 

 Out of the modules taught , I would prefer to select and apply the Storytelling tool to aware people   of this issue . My target audience will be the youth who are already aware of the situation of our   planet . I simply have to convince them to use better products to save our environment . I will craft   stories to aware people of different age groups . Therefore distinct stories will be required so that we   can reach out to every individual . This challenge can only be fathomed when these stories will   reach emotionally to everyone out there . The storytelling tool will help me to accomplish this   challenge . There are so many ways to enlighten people about the issue and encourage them to take   steps towards a better future . Social Media can play the ﬁnest role to reach out to consumers .   Compelling stories can help the users understand better the uses of the products . They will also be   able to relate and might take action towards it . Good stories always help to captivate the audience .   Apart from stories , I would apply the process of sampling . Providing the products to consumer ’s   hands will help them better understand my idea . This will automatically convey the story about my   concept . 

 Insight 

 Design thinking has full innovation potential . It unleashes people ’s full creative energies , wins their   commitment , and improves the processes . Learning about the different tools in this course helped   me understand how design thinking is used at every level and in all organizations . I practiced   storytelling to overcome my challenge . And it was no doubt the ﬁnest choice to reach out to my   audience emotionally . I aim to provide superior solutions to the consumers in return for their   sacriﬁce of using the most feasible product ( plastic bags ) . I have observed that design thinking   creates a natural ﬂow from research to rollout . Storytelling is an apt way to build empathy in   people . Design thinking is the best tool for sense - making , meaning - making , simplifying processes ,   and improving customer experiences . It also minimizes cost , reduces risk , and improves the speed   of the required action . 

 Approach 

 Storytelling was the apt tool but if a pinch of other tools was also used then the outcome might have   come more effectively . Mind mapping is also as important as storytelling . If I would have displayed 

 facts and ﬁgures and presented the data then it might have convinced my audience differently . It   would help them to understand the situation in a better way . Mind mapping is used to break down   complex problems and helps to come up with simples and easy ideas .
