Brainstorming Techniques: How to Innovate in Groups

Brainstorming is a good way to come up a solution or two. As the name suggests, the idea is that you storm on the neural pathways through the brain to pick a lot of thoughts quickly and intuitively. It's best to do this with a group of diverse people, so you have lots of different brains to explore. This leads to the creation of more ideas and maybe new solutions.

[malporveresto]

1. Create some plastic-eating bacteria / nano-bots.
2. Make plastic illegal to use on disposable applications.
3. Stop eating fish from the sea altogether, build fish farms instead.
4. Make new plastics that biodegrade completely when put into the sun (UV light) + salt.
5. 1 & 4 combined: new plastics that turn into edible bacteria food (or even fish food) when in contact with UV & salt.

[jaydevsinhsolanki]

Here I represents the brainstorming ideas:
1. AT PERSONAL LEVEL; we as individual shouldn't only have talks but we must do it just by volunteering do not take the plastic materials to the beach .
2.SCIENTIFIC LEVEL; yes we know that plastic is discovered by chance that make possible more option for us to make something better than this. and is not there are always the good alternatives so there is use of jute bag instead of plastic.
3.POLITICAL LEVEL ; Nations should always invest in the better future and for the cleaning of the waste and scientific instruments.
4.ADMINISTRATIVE LEVEL;
Strict laws should be made to restrict the use of plastic.
5. WORLD LEVEL; We must come together as we know that nobody can claims on the ocean that is for everyone, So If the whole world will support the movement that chance is there It will be successful.

[yinmayzinhan]

1. Use Tote bags instead.

3. Teach people to recycle.
4. Education for waste disposal.
5. Clean the drainage regularly.

[brittanyxyz]

1. eliminate plastic in constant use. replacing it with something more paper to dissolve
2. make the areas for waste a different area far from the water source that has an aquatic ecosystem
3. there should be a scheduled sweep which would create more jobs and reduce the effect of human life against the water source
4. make the area protect itsself with nets and guards that don't allow the fishes and underwater elements to interact with any waste
5. create a group of scientists and explorers to create a defense for protection and sponsorship.

[honey]

1. plastic floats so we can clean it using nets and boats.
2. Add air pockets while manufacturing any plastic product. This helps it to float.
3. Place a huge stirrer at certain parts of the sea while it pulls in all the plastic near. And then removing it becomes easy.
4. Introduce R C controlled mobile gadgets, that can move and remove plastic.
5. Throw pieces of thorn to the sea. While it collects all the floating plastic and reaches the shore.

[nothingspecial]

1. We can use smart animals such as dolphins to collect the plactic and get reward with food( or we can use the dogs and cats, but not for sea)
2. We can make plastic bottles more expensive but if we turn the bottle will get some money or the other juice or water will be cheaper
3. Making shows by children and sharing them all around the world( even social media)
4. Sharing free non plastic bags

[michaelekenstam]

1. Make the contents biodegradable
2. Have a separate container near the ocean to put the waste (similar to a landfill)
3. Change the material of the waste to something fish can eat
4. Create an ocean rake or filter
5. Make the waste magnetic or have the waste attracted to something.

[SiMeGamer]

1. More enjoyable/encouraged recycling like they do in some places in Colombia (you get movie tickets and whatnot for recycling bottles for example).
2. Increase awareness through public education and advertising on those same products that need attention.
3. Invent a different type of plastic that dissolves in sea water.
4. Fine people for careless management of their plastic disposal.
5. Create private non-profits that work on cleaning the ocean (non government bodies).

I did a brainstorming session with a friend when we needed a new name for our company and we set for 3 hours throwing ideas and later going through them by process of elimination; we ended up with two names we would've never thought about quickly and used one of them as well as have some funny names stay as inside jokes to this day and for many years to come. Brainstorming is wonderful and should be done more often in my opinion.
Great video as always :]
