The extended edition revealing how much plastic you consume
My approach to the individual project was to further extend our groups original project. The guide to exposing the plastic and recycling industry. As the extended part of the guide. An over arching scale is displayed of just how much plastic is produced in the world and how much of it is actually being recycled. I also included a more relatable first person perspective and created examples for the viewer to self evaluate themselves and their plastic consumption.
The overall purpose of this guide is to encourage people to be self reflective and do their part to reduce their plastic consumption.
Things you can do at home and alternative options to reduce your plastic consumption.
