Student Worksheet

Thought-starter: What information would you need to recycle green waste more?

In groups you are to create and perform a website, brochure or infographic based on one of the findings of recent research in green waste recycling that shows:

Women are more likely to be open to recycling green waste than men, but that they still need more information to do it confidently;
Almost 40% of people believe that green waste just goes to landfill so they don’t use the green waste bin service;
About 30% of people would use it more if they were sure about what should and shouldn’t go in the bin;
About 60% of people said they would use they green waste bin more if they were aware of the environmental benefits of green waste recycling; and
People aged 18-34 were less aware of how and why they should use a green waste recycling service.

Your website, brochure or infographic should be aimed at the people represented by one of these findings and should encourage these people to increase their correct use of green waste recycling.

Think outside the box but ensure that the details of your project are aligned with the SMART goal idea: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time Bound. For more information, have a look at our Project Action Planning - Tips for success.
