💬 Message to Learners

{'encouragement': "You're learning about one of the most visible environmental challenges of our time. Ocean plastic is a problem we created, and it's a problem we can solve.", 'reminder': 'Cleanup is essential, but prevention is the ultimate solution. Every piece of plastic not created is a piece we never need to clean up.', 'action': 'Deploy cleanup systems in the simulator. See how plastics flow and accumulate. Understand why rivers are key to stopping the flow.', 'dream': 'An engineer from Kenya might design the perfect river interceptor. An entrepreneur from Nigeria might create the circular economy solution. Ocean health affects everyone - solutions must come from everywhere.', 'wiaVision': "WIA Pin Code believes environmental technology education should reach everyone. Our oceans connect all nations - protecting them is humanity's shared responsibility."}
