As part of our campaign, we carried out an array of background research, to further develop and improve our cause. We wanted to get our message across as best as possible, and we carried out external research in order to do so.
Background Research
Survey 1:
The objectives of our first survey were; to identify our main target audience, to establish whether or not they would be interested in making/learning how to make our products, and to further develop our idea. We distributed this survey to 300 first, second and third year students in our school.
First Years
1. How often, on average would your interior general house bin be emptied per week?
2. Rate your interest in arts and crafts on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being very little interest and 10 being a very big interest.
3. On a scale of 1 to 10 how important is reducing your carbon footprint to you?
4.Would you be interested in making useful products for your room from potential waste?
5. Would you be interested in watching videos based on how to make such products?
6. Would you be interested in buying useful products for your room from potential waste?
Second Years
1. How often, on average would your interior general house bin be emptied per week?
2. Rate your interest in arts and crafts on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being very little interest and 10 being a very big interest.
3. On a scale of 1 to 10 how important is reducing your carbon footprint to you?
4.Would you be interested in making useful products for your room from potential waste?
5. Would you be interested in watching videos based on how to make such products?
6. Would you be interested in buying useful products for your room from potential waste?
Third Years

6. Would you be interested in buying useful products for your room from potential waste?
Survey 2:
The main objective of our second survey, was to gather feedback and advice on our lessons and workshops. We distributed this survey to 84 first and second year students in our school, having already identified them as our target audience.
1. Did you enjoy our lesson and workshop?
2. Would you recommend our lesson and workshop to other students and teachers?
3. Do you feel you have a better understanding of the topic now?

Fun Facts
Global Warming
Average global temperatures increased by about 1 degree Celsius over the 20th century.
A World of Waste
Every year we dump a massive 2.12 billion tons of waste. If all this waste was put on trucks they would go around the world 24 times.
Aluminium Cans
Aluminium can be recycled over and over again, saving energy and natural resources – and reducing litter and waste. Every minute of every day, an average of 113,200 aluminium cans are recycled.
Drip Drop
If every household in America had a faucet that dripped once each second, 928 million gallons of water a day would leak away.
Extreme Weather
Hurricanes, droughts and coral deaths are few of the natural disasters caused due to climate change.
