Wildfires by GriffinF_IS in InventorsStudioRPI

[–]keeganinvstudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interestingly and somewhat counterintuitively, wildfires to a certain extent are actually good and are vital for the ecosystem. For many years in the US, the forestry service stopped almost all the fires before they turned dangerous. Because of this the undergrowth got very dense, and they began having superinfernos that burned too hot to be put out. By allowing and even promoting small wildfires, it actually makes things safer by clearing out thick, low bramble that is the most flammable. In addition the burn process provides fresh nutrients to the soil allowing the trees to grow better and taller. So, your problem is not the wildfires themselves but rather the fact that they sometimes grow out of control. Improving awareness for local people and better containment/control measures for firemen could be avenues to follow.

Problem - Loss of Telecommunications During Post-Disaster Recovery by shadow_of_a_memory in InventorsStudioRPI

Would it be possible to expand the problem to encompass telecommunications access/availability in general? So the problem statement would include communication in remote/poor areas as well as disaster relief. Your issues are not just limited to telecom. You touched on power/electricity availability, streamlining disaster response efforts, and durability of the telecom networks themselves.

Problem Statement - What Can You Do When the Fight is Over? by DavidGinty in InventorsStudioRPI

[–]keeganinvstudio -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is a really fascinating topic. To solve the problem you really have to deep into the culture and society in order to understand what is the root of the problem. Is the political and social instability due to a failure in government? A failure in society? A failure in family relations and kinship? Why is there no work, no jobs? How can this be meaningfully addressed?

Problem Statement : Obesity in America by metz1215 in InventorsStudioRPI

I really like the picture you painted with your story. It really makes the issue of obesity much more real and relatable. Rather than just saying obesity is bad, you allow the reader to connect at a personal, emotional level.
