Causation

CAUSATION: Why is the waste of paper and plastic at school like this?

SYNTHESISE:

Sofia Botero and Sofia T, 23-5-11 it's like this becuase of the lack of awreness. It's not only becuase the children aren't complitly aware of the situation, because there had been some classes throuth all the studies in the school about environment and pollution etc, that classes are global and they need local things they can make the difference on. There are many ways of beeng environmentally friendly but in school they aren't tech, the students don't know how to recycle or know any way of helping the environment, so if they don't know then they just stay wasting. Also is because in the school we don't have any clear program for helping the environment and we don't have any program or class like ecology for having knowledge and beeng environmentaly friendly. Teachers and students think there is a lot of waste of paper and plastic but the children aren't complitly aware of the situation because even dough we have teach them about it they don't really care and still throw things to the floor or don't reuse paper/plastic or they don't throu things to the correct containor. Workers think is because the children don't whant to throw it to the rubbish, becuase they are too laisy and becuase they don't matter at all. in the instant they throw all the rubbish they don't think about the consequenses. Students think we need more classes for awarness and for recycling.

El desperdicio de papel y plastico es así por la falta the consiesia y prevención. No solo es porque los niños no estan completamente prevenidos por que aunque los estudiantes hallan tenido clases de polucion y el medio ambiente, esas clases son globales y los estudiantes necesitan clases sobre problemas locales donde ellos puedan hacer alguna differecia al respecto. Ahi michas maneras de salvar al medio ambiente, pero estas oluciones no son enseñanad especificamente por que muchos estudiantes no saben como recyclar o alguna otra manera de aydar al medio ambiente. Otra causa es porque en el colegio no ahi un programa claro para ayudar al medio ambiente o una clase de ecologia para tener el conosimiento de salvar almedio ambiente. ====== Los maestros y los estudiantes piensan que hay una gran cantidad de residuos de papel y de plástico pero los estudiantes no esta totalmente advertidos de la situacion, ya que, aunque se les enseñan algunas cosas, ellos no se preocupan y siguen desperdiciando papel y plastico. Los trabajadores piensan que los niños son muy peresosos para poner la basura en su lugar. En el instante que botan la basura no piensan en las consecuensias de lo que hacen.

Sofia B, 26-5-11 interview to Juan Guillermo (ecologist) Porque nosotros usamos mas papel y plastico del que nesesitamos? respuesta: usamos mucho mas papel y plastico del que nesesitamos porque creemos que lo que usamos es lo nesesario cuando hay gente que si sabe que usamos mucho mas del que nesesitamos pero igual aunque la gente lo escuche no cambia. Una rason que es muy comun en la gente de tanto gasto es que aunque lo aya gente que le dice a estas personas y les informa del problema hay gente que no quiere cambiar porque les gusta su forma de vida y no la cambian ni por una buena rason.

Causation interview Objective: our objective with this interview is to find why it is the situation like this. (Causation) but also it works for resolving part of the LOI 3 because in the last two questions depending on the answer it can tell us why there is so much paper and plastic waste. Ask to: teachers, students, workers. Workers and teacher are really aware and try to do actions for recycling and reuseing but students think they are aware but htey don´t really know what to do, so they think they are aware but they are not. 1. Why is there so much waste of plastic and paper in the school? Teacher: there is a lot of waste of paper and plastic becuase the children aren't complitly aware of the situation because even dough we have teach them about it they don't really care and still throw things to the floor or don't reuse paper/plastic or they don't throu things to the correct containor.

Student: there is a lot of waste becuase we just like to use many things and them throw them away and we don't really matter where they finish.

Worker: is because the children don't whant to throw it to the rubbish, becuase they are too laisy and becuase they don't matter at all. in the instant they throw all the rubbish they don't think about the consequenses.

2. are you aware of the waste of plastic and paper?

Teacher: yes, and i really care about it and i hope some day the problem will be solved.

Student: yes

Worker: yes

3. if you are aware then what action you take? if you don't why? Teacher: i recycle everything i can and i try to use as less paper and plastic possible. Also i have an agreement with my students about recycling, reusing, and redusing.

Student: i don't take action becuase i don't know what to do for the planet and because i don't have enough time for that. I also think because i am laisy

Worker: yes, what i do is recycle. 4. why aren't you aware and why don't you take action? Teacher: i am really awared but i think we as adults and everybody should do something.

Student: Is because we don't have any specific class about it and even dough we know about it, for some reason we just dont stop doing it. maybe is because we havent seen the consequences.

Worker: i realise i do need to take a bit of time and do something better for the planet but i also think that is very dificoult too it becuase we don't really know about it.

sofia B, 10-5-11 =interview to jose:= jose is the one that does all the job of recicling in the school and we are doing an interview for finding out the causation

como resiclador del colegio que piensas sobre el gasto de papel y plastico produsido en el colegio?

como crees que tu responsabilidad ayuda al medio anbiente? como y cuanto se malgasta el papel y plastico en este colegio? crees que los niños no tienen consiensia sobre el malgasto que se hace en el colegio? las medidas tomadas por el colegio an dado un resultado postivo como se evidencia? cuanto papel y plastico resiclas por semana? te parese que deverias de resiclar aun mas? estamos resiclando tanto como legalmente deveriamos?

answers: 1. Es muy abundante se ve todo el tiempo, de amobos de papel y plastico. 2. Este trabajo me permite aportar un granito de arena al medio, ambiente, aportar de mi lado una ayuda al medio ambiente. 3. Bueno todo eltiempo se ve, se ve que los ninos ponen los materiales en las basuras indevidas en las que no deben poner. 4. La verdad es que falta muchisimo la concienci de no gastar. 5. Bueno la verdad es positivo porque la organizacion y el processo es bueno. 6. Bueno es mucho pero si lo aproximamos, por semana... 2000 kilos. 7. falta demaciado la motivacion de la gente para aserloy querer acerlo. 8. No para nada me parece que un colegio contantos recursos deveria hacer mas demasiado mas.

=problem:= the problem is the top of the tree the lack of awarness is the trunk the rutes is that there is not a clear action

sofia b, 17-5-11 =entrevista con el administrador del colegio:= Andres Perez objective: know more about the causation of the problem where the anministrator is the route.

1. cual es la situasion del desperdicio en este momento? lo que se va a la basura es producto de todo el trabajo que se hace en el colegio, desde lo de los estudiantes hasta lo que desperdicia la administracion pero luego es reciclado. 2. porque esta haci? antes el colegio no reciclaba y desde que comensamos el cambio fue notable y se vio la oportunidad de conservar los productos naturales. 3.cuales son los procesos que el colegio hace para recuperar el daño? aqui se recicla y se hace recobracion de abono. 4. que haces tu al repecto? como administrador yo estoy pendiente de que los procesos esten sirviendo, y que esten funsionando correctamente.

Sofia B, 12-5-11 this is a problem mayorly caused because of lack of awarness. This problem is one of the bigest in the world and in the school the problem doesn't stops, mainly children make a lot of waste around the school and in different ways thoruing the rubbis on the floor, using more paper than what is nessesary, using more plastic than what is nessesary, don't recycle ETC, but what we want to know is where the problem start. We know that we are the responsables of protecting the enviroment, and of taking care of it and not wasting so much but all this happens because we aren't aware. Sofia B, 17-5-11 Well know that we know that the administrator really cares and really knows what is happening and he does take action then there is still do much waste?

Sofia T 17-5-11 So we now know that the administrator doesn´t has the fault, the fault is from STUDENTS becuase in the tricky question you made he said yes but in the other one he ssaind no. The students are not really acepting what they are doing and that they need to do MORE, if not (like in Julis and my poem) we are all going to die because of trash...
