Challenge Addressed

Our project addresses the pervasive issue of litter which negatively impacts the environment.

Proposed Impact

We aim to teach effective litter collection, waste sorting, and recycling; empowering individuals to become environmental stewards.

Measuring Progress or Success

1. Quantitative Metrics:
   • Amount of litter collected during clean-up events.
   • Volume of materials diverted to recycling facilities.
2. Participation Metrics:
   • Number of participants in workshops and events.
   • Increase in community engagement (measured through surveys or attendance).
3. Behavioural Change:
   • Feedback from participants on changes in their personal waste disposal practices.
   • Observed reduction in litter in targeted areas over time.

Project Progress

Successes

• Community Engagement: High turnout at our first clean-up event.
• Educational Outcomes: participants reported learning new skills in waste sorting and recycling.
• Collaboration: with local charities

Challenges

• Logistics: Coordinating volunteers and securing tools like gloves, bags, and recycling bins.
• Funding: Limited budget has restricted the scale of our outreach.

Communication and Education

• Social Media: Regular updates on project milestones, upcoming events, and educational tips.
• Public Displays: Posters and infographics in schools, libraries, and community centres.

By addressing both practical and educational aspects, we aim to create a lasting impact on environmental stewardship in our community.
