I want the existing problems to vanish and the Earth to be able to heal itself. So I created Regeneron! Earth’s new superpower to repair and restore and update!!! These are the categories I feel need a quick action. Water clean up, Food Security, Atmosphere( pollution), Sustainable Shelter, Energy ( renewable and non -renewable), Afforestation, Ozone Fix-up and Space debris clean up

�Using the concept of Biomimicry, I have visualised Earth in the form of a giant Octopus. Octopi have the ability to regenerate their body parts, and that's the superpower I want Earth to have...Regeneration!

Regeneron – An updated Earth

Water Management:

Uncontrolled dumping of garbage, debris and sewage into water bodies leads to an influx of various pollutants including organic compounds, phosphates and nitrates, thereby adversely impacting the water quality. Using the concept of bioremediation, Regeneron will restore the water bodies to its original clean state so the next generation can start on a clean slate. Bioremediation is the use of microbes to clean up contaminated water.

�

Food Security:

Climate extremes and global environmental change influence food production and the well-being of agricultural communities in complex ways that are challenging. Regeneron will, using data about earth, create optimum food production.

Sustainable shelter:

With the exploding population on Earth, we need enough resources to shelter them but in a sustainable way. What better than my Regeneron to come up with sustainable ways to build homes using green technology.

Atmosphere:

Restoring clean air is the next activity of Regeneron. Air pollution is the most pressing environmental health crisis in the world. It is responsible for more than 6.5 million deaths annually. In addition to health hazards, air pollution is a threat to the region’s economy, food and water security, and climate systems. This hampers the region’s efforts to grow sustainably.

Afforestation:

We have practically destroyed the forests and lands with indiscriminate usage. If we ever have to have a chance of survival , I would need my Regeneron to stabilize the forest resources. Afforestation/reforestation is an effective technology to reverse land degradation and rehabilitate degraded land, and is an effective climate change mitigation strategy

Energy( Renewable & non-Renewable):

Different energy sources have different effects on the environment Resource extraction can affect air, water, and land resources. These resources can be contaminated [e.g., oil spills]. Fossil fuel resources can pollute the atmosphere. Regeneron will repair and restore the resources and create new avenues for energy for the future.

Space debris clean-up:

The legacy of more than 50 years of human space faring has brought impressive technical and scientific achievements; however, it has also led to the growing population of space debris. These objects serve no useful purpose in space, but instead place man, the Earth, and useful space objects at risk. Regeneron would provide a clean slate for future innovations by cleaning up the technology.

�

Ozone fix-up:

Rebuilding the ozone layer is one of the immediate issues facing Earth. For stopping global warming the Regeneron would fix up the ozone and restore it to shape so that using technology we could safeguard it with better practices
