Cultural/Context information for the jury

The Mekong River is a transboundary river originating from China, passing through Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, and Cambodia and finally through Vietnam to the sea. Vietnam is the last stand of floating garbage from six countries before it goes to sea. However, we often could see people throwing garbage into the river from floating houses and ships. The reason is they believed the river would soon be clean because the garbage dumped in the river flows into the sea. In order to prevent garbage from flowing into the Pacific, we produced two solar boats with Hanwha's photovoltaic solution and donated to Vietnam. Also we assigned the Solar Boat the character of the Mekong River hero who eats floating garbage. As a result, just the fact that the Solar Boat was on the Mekong River could give our target group a second look at the behavior of dumping trash into the river.
