Cigarette Pollution Summary Brief
Up to this week I have gathered much research and information about cigarettes, pollution and restrictions and laws in New York. I have even expanded my research out to not only cigarette pollution, but gum, trash, and noise pollution in New York City as well. I have found many articles voicing awareness and concerns on the issues along with factual evidence with numbers and New York City codes and reinforcement laws. I am concerned however that since I expanded the project it is now turning into more of a research project rather than something with an end goal. I will voice my concerns with my group and see if they have any advice for me.
Focusing more on the cigarette pollution, my prototype is of a new and highly efficient cigarette disposal, which is more modern looking and can be easily spotted and used if placed around the school grounds. For the remaining weeks, I will continue to gather research and work to keep refining the Disposal I designed along with continuing to look into a possible partnership with Parsons and the disposal program TerraCycle.
