Recycling has always been really important to me. I have always found it interesting how much we can help the environment by just recycling something instead of tossing it in the trash. These days our resources are getting more and more limited so we really can not waste them. With the amount of recycling centers we have and how easy it is to recycle, society really does not have an excuse for not recycling. Some cities even have curbside pick up now so people in that community do not even have to leave their house to recycle. I do not know how much more convenient they can make it for us. If your community does not have curbside pick up there is always recycling centers in pretty much every community.
For my project I really just wanted to show a broad idea of a girl outside littering and then someone else comes along and shows her how to recycle. For my first shot I wanted to show the environment after someone has littered. I think it is important that we see how dirty our environment is if no one is cleaning and recycling. For the second shot I decided to show a young girl littering. She was drinking a can of soda and had just finished it. Therefore, she just decided to throw the can on the ground even though she had a recycling bin right next to her. The third shot shows another girl coming up and teaching her how to recycling. The other girl explains the importance of recycling to the young girl. She tells her what will happen to the environment if we do not recycle. Also she explains how easy it is to find recycling centers in her area. The fourth shot shows the young girl cleaning up the trash in her environment which means she learned the importance of recycling. She realizes she wants her environment clean and she does not want us to run out of resources. The last shot shows the young girl relaxing in her clean environment. The main idea of this story board was to teach the importance of recycling and I think I was able to convey to others that recycling is important. Even if they are not sure why recycling is important yet, I think I have sparked in interest in at least finding out why recycling is important and how it affects our environment. So just in case you did not catch the point in the story board I decided to restate it in the last slide to keep our environment clean.

visual advocacy

Recycling is an important topic to me. I feel people can make the world such a nice, cleaner place if we would all just recycle our cans or pick up our trash. For this reason I plan on making a short storyboard for my visual advocacy project. I have done many projects on recycling meaning I have researched it before. However, none have challenged me to show recycling through pictures.

I plan on going to a park for my storyboard. I wanted the surroundings to be outside where you see most people littering. I plan to show the importance of recycling and cleaning up the envirnment around us.

For my first slide I hope to show a dirty park that needs to be cleaned up. Then I will show my subject littering and adding to the piles of trash. Then my third slide will be someone educating the person littering about the importance of cleaning the earth. Then they will clean up the park. Lastly, I will show a picture of the clean park.
