Concept for reducing plastic waste in other countries
Names of collaboration team members:
Team from Switzerland: Liranda & Angela
Team from Kosovo: relatives of Liranda
Team from Croatia: relatives of Angela
Our research question (wider question):
How much plastic waste is created during the day in different countries compared to Switzerland?
Refined questions:
- How much plastic items (bags, wrapping etc.) does grocery shopping accumulate?
- Is there awareness of plastic pollution and the impact it has on the environment?
- Does the government do enough to tackle plastic pollution?
- Is there any willingness to reduce plastic pollution themselves?
Our answers:
- Exchange experiences and opinions with the people living abroad
- Letting the people abroad take part in a survey as well as make a list with the wrapped food they bought during the day
- Eventually research on the internet
- For the comparison to Switzerland: Checking our own behavior in our everyday lives
Diverse:
In order to create our survey, we will either must set up a website or use an app/platform
Goal:
We want to find out, how much these people are informed about plastic waste and the environmental pollution in their country. Since we are going to make an effort to reduce our own plastic consumption, we want to try to encourage them to reduce theirs as well.
