At the University of Washington, it is critical that our students are knowledgable of proper recycling and composting practices. By constructing and executing a survey designed to target common knowledge areas of sustainable behavior, we are hoping to find a correlation between student knowledge and demographic information.
With over 100 students surveyed in Spring quarter 2016, we are continuing to stockpile our data and draw conclusions based on our findings. Hopefully our data will help us implement new methods to combat lack of student knowledge about recycling and composting practices.
