Analysis Report

ByVaishnaviK,grade8sectionA

Heres a quick summary of our first stage, Inquiring and Analyzing!

Topic: Reusing Discarded Products

Agenda: How Do We Help Recycle? How Do We Encourage

it?

Recyling helps us in many ways, from saving resources to encouraging people

to work with others for the sake of the world. There are so many things we
waste every day. Can we help it? Of course! If its not reusable, we can recycle
it if its Biodegradeable. For example, we cant really use banana peels for
artwork, but we can put it in the soil, the soil becomes fertile.

Whats the target audience?

The target audience is anyone ready to help the world.

Why recycling?
Recycling helps the world in many ways. It saves resources, it helps us use products
which would have been waste for us at one point and we think that is something
people should know.

What do i want to create? Whats the point of me doing this?

I want to create an environment where recycling is highly accepted and used in a wide
range. And once we create awareness, our process is complete. The survey might have
reminded people that Recycling exists and matters.
Who needs this?

We do, to make the world a better place.

How would i use the survey and inquiry questions to make the
ultimate product?

This is the ultimate product. I plan to collect the data to make a big report, to explain my
objective. I want to showcase the opinions of people on Recycling and how it may help
the world, and my own feelings.
What do i think will be an ideal solution, after looking at
everyones opinions?

An ideal solution would be to make it advertised, with posters and campaigns all around.
Awareness is a necessity.
