Project Statement
Company: The EPA(Environmental Protection Agency) The mission of EPA is to protect human health and the environment. Their purpose is to ensure all Americans are protected from significantriskstohumanhealthandtheenvironmentwhere theylive,learnandwork,nationaleffortstoreduce environmentalriskarebasedonthebestavailablescientific information,andfederallawsprotectinghumanhealthand the environment are enforced fairly and effectively.
Problem: TheEPAhasalotofinformationaboutclimatechangeand theeffectsontheUSbutnotinavisualpleasingwasthatis easily read and understood.
Opportunity: To create an infographic that is clear and easy to understand aswellasinteresting.
Solution: Tocreateaninfographicthathighlightstheinformationabout climate change in the US since the 1900’s and the effects of the change on our environment.

The evidence is clear. Rising global temperatures have been accompanied by changes in weather and climate. Many places have seen changes in rainfall, resulting in more �oods, droughts, or intense
rain, as well as more frequent and severe heat waves. The planet's oceans and glaciers have also experienced some big changes - oceans are warming and becoming more acidic, ice caps are
melting, and sea levels are rising. As these and other changes become more pronounced in the coming decades, they will likely present challenges to our society and our environment.
We can reduce the risks we will face from climate change. By making choices that reduce greenhouse gas pollution, and preparing for the changes that are already underway, we can reduce risks from climate change. Our decisions today will shape the world our children and grandchildren will live in.
