This is a photo taken by: Chris Jordan My name is Bryan Acuna, and I attend the Chinquapin School. Every year my school encourages the seniors to develop a project about something they are passionate about. The project should somehow impact on the world.
My project is going to be about plastic. I will talk about how making plastic is affecting the health of many people, animals, and our environment. I will specifically talk about how plastic bags and plastic bottles are contaminating our environment, and killing wildlife. I will also talk about how the creation of plastic, and the use of plastic, is affecting human health. I want to inform people about the problems trash is creating and also give the people certain solutions. Trying to convince people to reduce plastic consumption is going to hard, but I know at least that I tried my best by informing the world.
I will start to inform people by introducing the problem which plastic is creating. I will blog about the different effects of plastic, and I will explain some of the issues that are still going on. I will post some visuals and also facts of bad effects that plastic is having in our world. I will also try to have a link to the pages to which I am getting the information from or to pages where you can get more information. Also I would love to have some comments with links or with information that can help my research.
My ultimate goal is to have inform lots of people so that they can begin to make a change for themselves. By change I mean changing their habits of using too much plastic or just informing other people about the bad impact of plastic. I was informed about plastic and its bad effects and that is why I decided to make a change. I had no idea of what kind of effects plastic had on the environment, and I know there are lot of people who have no clue as well. I want to inform them and encourage them to inform others.
Your project is a very noble one, but I think more than informing people you need to set an example. You mention that you want to make a real change. Most changes start with you. You should mention the things that you are actively doing other than this blog that are impacting the world positively. I think the greatest impact you can have will be the things you do in your own life to change. By doing this you could give people the things that work and don't work. You will be guiding people into making real changes, that ultimately have real impacts. Why are you so interested in plastic? Is it that you see it as the worst type of waste or is it that you feel it's the easiest to recycle? Explain why you are motivated to do this project more in depth.
ReplyDeleteDo you have permission for your photo? Or is it CC?
ReplyDeleteIts CC and it only asked me to to put the name of the photographer and so that is why I provided the name of the person that took the photo.
ReplyDeleteI think that something that would be extremely helpful would be to tell Chinquapin Students how plastic affects them. Most people don't mind if it's killing other animals but once it starts affecting them it's a whole different deal. I don't know much about plastic and how it affects me so I won't mind littering. Also, if you can make a video to reach out to the students would be great. The students can reach out to a lot of people and change their actions if the video is strong enough.
