Our podcast is an investigation into whether or not students at Waterloo choose to recycle on a daily basis. In order to discover the prominence of recycling on campus, we decided to observe students at the Student Life Center since it is a high traffic zone with a lot of food readily available. We began by examining our surroundings and we noticed that there are actually more recycling bins than garbage bins. Upon this discovery, we situated ourselves beside a recycling and garbage bin so that we could watch which bin people would choose. From there, our observations turned to those around us. They ranged from students who choose to recycle by bringing in their own coffee mugs to those who take everything and toss it in the garbage without consideration. Although our subject matter is very serious, our podcast will be expressed in a humorous manner. Our hopes are that upon listening to our investigation, the idea of recycling will be imprinted in the minds of the public.
