What could I do to answer these questions?
Contact outside agencies
Survey girls in the year level to test their knowledge
To see what I need to inform people on and make people aware of
Create posters
These posters would supply information that tells them what they don't know (I would find this out from the surveys)
Formal letter to a company
using their responses I could see if the companies would be interested in having e-waste collection tubs in their stores and I could collect them at the end of each week
Survey people on their habits and how many electronics they have lying around the house and how many they have disposed of incorrectly
Survey people to see what locations in the school they past the most
These results will show me where positioning collection tubs would be most effective
Actions
Collecting batteries at school by having a tub ideally situated in the T-Bar and I could drop it off at Battery world (if I send them a letter) whenever it gets full
Something similar would be to collect batteries in the tubs but at local supermarkets in Stonnington.
see if places that collect e-waste have volunteer opportunities and I could volunteer to collect used batteries from other people (family, friends etc)
Contact the environment department of the state or federal government to see if I can get the tubs all over Melbourne
