Help with writing 3 page single space on solving a problem. The problem is reducing plastic waste. Need to use the following concepts that I choose from each of my chapters in the assignemt to explain how to solve the problem. 

Chapter 1 – Creative Thinking as a Problem-Solving Tool – Reapplication: Reapplication is the method of taking an existing item or idea and applying it to something else. How does this help solve the problem

Chapter 2 – The Creative-Thinking Outlook – The behaviors that strengthen creativity: PERSEVERANCE, THE ABILITY TO SUSPEND JUDGMENT AND CRITICISM, and MENTAL PLAYFULNESS. How does this help solve the problem.

Chapter 3 – Identifying Problems – Causation: ♦ Sufficient cause. A sufficient cause is an agent that by itself can produce a given effect. 

♦ Necessary cause. A necessary cause is an agent that must be present for an effect to occur, but which by itself cannot produce the effect. 

♦ Contributory cause. A contributory cause is an agent that helps to bring about a given effect but which by itself is neither sufficient nor necessary.

♦ Proximate cause. The proximate cause is the agent or event occurring immediately before the effect. In many cases, however, the proximate cause is itself the effect of a previous cause. 

NEED TO DECIDE WHICH CAUSE IT IS!

Chapter 4 – Exploring the Problem – Assumptions: – Assumptions are shortcuts that enable us to make decisions and solve problems more efficiently. As such, many of them provide necessary benefits.

♦ Assumptions set limits. Time, money, effort and other resources are limited. Reasonable constraints circumscribe every problem because no person or organization has unlimited time, money, personnel, or technology.

♦ Assumptions reflect desired values. For example, when thinking about more effective punishments as deterrents for crime, we assume that the punishments will remain humane.

♦ Assumptions help simplify the problem. Assuming certain boundaries and methods of proceeding makes the problem more manageable because there are fewer variables to consider. 

Chapter 5 – Establishing Goals – Ideal goals:Taking time to consider ideal goals, rather than remaining focused on an immediate quick fix, will improve the quality of the solution.

Chapter 6 – Generating Ideas – Direct transfer:research the problem to discover whether it has existed in the past, and if so, how it was handled by others.

Chapter 7 – Choosing the Solution – Reducing it:a strategy of reduction can be highly effective. Almost any problem can be made less troublesome by reducing its size.

Chapter 8 – Implementing the Solution – Work to create acceptance:new solutions often require new thinking to accompany them if the solutions are to be effectively implemented. The current situation is a known, while change involves the unknown and is therefore frightening for some people.

Chapter 9 – Evaluating the Solution – Any adjustments:Evaluation may reveal that a chosen solution works partially but by itself cannot solve the problem. In this event, adding another solution activity to the solution path will often prove helpful.
