Elevator Pitch Example:
Introduction (10-20 seconds):
Hook: \u201cDid you know that our oceans are facing a silent crisis?\u201d
Introduction: \u201cHi, I\u2019m [Your Name], and today I want to shed light on the controversial topic of plastic pollution in our oceans.\u201d
Problem Statement (20-30 seconds):
Issue: \u201cEvery year, millions of tons of plastic waste end up in our oceans, causing irreversible harm to marine life and ecosystems.\u201d
