Shores of Responsibility
——An Interactive Journey in Tackling Coastal Pollution
Background:
SDG 12/14 promotes reducing waste and protecting resources through recycling. With growing waste pollution, particularly in oceans, this project uses 3D modeling to highlight the importance of sustainable consumption and explore recycling possibilities.
In this interactive scene, trash drifts to the shoreline along simulated ocean currents. Users can click to remove selected waste, directly impacting a global variable: the pollution level. As the amount of trash in the scene increases, so does the pollution level, affecting the scene’s post-processing effects. High pollution levels create a darker, more ominous atmosphere, while lower levels clear the skies, resulting in a brighter and more hopeful setting. Shores of Responsibility invites everyone to take action, symbolizing our shared duty to protect the coast—and the planet.
