For the start of ‘Phase 1’ we’ve been encourage by our tutors to come up with a 100 word summary or brief for our project (expanding on the 50 or so words we already had for gurus day). And also some king of visual plan for the next few weeks so that we remain focused and have something to work towards. My 100 summary is:
My project will focus on the sustainability of our food supply – specifically the amount of food that we waste. I am interested in what role other people’s perceptions of our own ‘eco-friendliness’ play in our actions and decisions concerning how much food we use or waste. I am also interested in whether simply being more aware of the amount of food that we waste (and therefore the wasted resources used in producing that food) can change people’s habits and behaviours. The overall goal of the project is to decrease the amount of wasted food on an individual basis.
And here’s a picture of the visual plan that I’ve come up with for the period up until the Christmas break:
