Abstract
Our team proposed an idea oriented toward ecology and environment preservation. Generally, Project Mass Effect (PME) is a web-based portal with build-in Google Maps and stand-alone downloadable application called featuring unique interface and Google Earth integration. Both apps will be dedicated to alert global populations about environmental hazards. Even though, Interactive Earth will be available for additional fee covering in-depth material and content. Also, apps will repot the eco-status of our planet and track real time data about: • Climate change and environmental hazards incurred by human actions, including water contamination, air and ground pollution, radiation, deforestation, etc Information is provided by organizations in compilation with users. Moreover, Earth status can be viewed in two modes, data provided by agencies and community users. Consequently, our network targets are environmental and ecology oriented agencies, plus ordinary users that will constitute our future community. PME is not only about covering most global environmental disasters and incidents in our applications but pushing individuals to take a role of environment protectors. Governments or you as a user can organize green eco events and recruit volunteers to fight particular type of ecological after-effect or prevent one. For instance, local authorities can recruit volunteers to help prepare the prevention of burning peat bogs and wildfire those dangerous poisons could affect daily life of urban town. Even an ordinary user can locate an issue, request help and lead the team! For example, to create their own eco-kits and dealing methods so others would equip themselves with improvised means from home, team up with local volunteers and go plant trees in the burned areas, collect garbage, purify water, prevent eco threat, etc. It is enough to identify eco problem near your city and find people who are ready to engage into commitment they are about to make. Humanity long-term benefit will be achieved only through common interest and call of duty. We will provide a powerful tool capable to make strong impacts, create socially just societies and raise most important questions like, “what should be done in order to adequately treat and care about our planet so our predecessors would not blame us for not taking actions?” Act today and become a leader of tomorrow! Benefits? Social Networking + Ecological Engagement = fun and meaningful

Well, I know that colors and music are vital for the video. Here is a littlebigdetails about our video:
I don't know why but our video solution on YouTube looks more darker, plus small screen. I agree, the background is kind of dark and maybe it could be lighter, but on the other hand, the text is colored and pretty visible. Also, the music is okay. I mean it is one of my fav trailer soundtracks but it is only the first part of it because the whole track is beyond 3 minutes which is epic and builds up the tempo pretty fast. Therefore, our video should have consist from 2 parts but the second one was dropped due to the lack of time and video footage...that's the biggest problem for me when it comes to finding right footage...many "free" videos cost money and royal free videos are very dump and unattractive to me...so I thought that including text into a video is a good solution when you want to refrain to use videos/pictures from Google, and lastly I skipped using other works because I did not wanted to make a reference, lol, true story! The planet at the beginning was made by me but with the help of tutorial, I just followed the instructions. Anyway, thanks for remarks, the best is yet to come…

It is often considered that some special organizations are to take care of the planet, anybody, but not we. Most people hope that the problem of enormous ecological footprint of the humanity will disappear because somebody else will do something. But actually the future of the planet is in our hands. It is you and me who are to act immediately. And I love your project because it gives us the opportunity to change the world around us by the unpretentious and simple actions. Working for different places of the world and changing them to the best - constant dropping wears away the stone – is what we need now!

Thank You!
Right now we done nothing ;D Yeah, I know that one month passed since the announcement but we gonna start working next week (beginning of September) during the first week of school. Robertas and I will meet each other this week and we will start brainstorming. Perhaps editing our project will be given a priority and simultaneously we gonna do the sketch on how our website is gonna look like and all its infrastructure + emailing people those exp and area of expertise might be valuable.
PS: I think finals might be easier from one hand because we have done all the paperwork. However, on the other hand, we must edit and polish our work because of the feedback + we need more clarification like specific objectives and project content, etc (I guess). So since we gonna do it during our studies, it will be challenging but this time we need to take advantage of timing (2 months) and start doing project as soon as we will meet with Robertas.
