What we Heard #1

And I'm not sure better I do have a lot of old stuff and just seating around the house like I said old Tv. That probably would have to be recycled at some point but I have no idea where to send it to.

The action was not taken due to lake of awareness and information.

you know, they open the idea for me that you can create this kind of event, or you can make the awareness or even create collaborations. You can, but I mean this is a good point. Posters will get people's attention and make them aware that this thing is available to them

Now we can recycle it, but people don't know what it is the E wast, so that also, you know, some kind of notification with the Ui anyways, and then a clear message and some objective so they might get information

I would say, if users had a more confident sense of the utility or value of what they have, they would be more willing to go. you have to kind of give people a sense of what benefit are they getting out of recycling and all. What the environmental value of doing this recycling is, or what the social value of doing. give them a reason to act.

If you can create value in the transaction without meaning. It's you. Tell them the environmental story like Why, this is beneficial.
