Environmental Promotion Reflection

1. Summarize your project.
- My project was about trying to make a difference in our community by cleaning up the beaches on the island and repairng the trails that have been ruined or inaccessoble due to the debris from typhoon soudelor and the overgrowth of the surrounding plants.

2. Do you believe your project was a success? Did you make a difference in the lives of your intended audience? Explain.
- I believe that the project was somewhat successful. I feel like we made a difference in some lives but not what we had hoped for.

3. If you were to do this again next year or in the summer, what would you do differently? Why? What would you do the same? Why?
- If i were to do this again, I would plan the events,  gather the materials, and start recruiting mich earlier than what I did this year. I feel this way mainly because we had some trouble with getting the equipment especially transportation. We also had trouble gwtting the word out about what our next event would be and very little people showed up for the event because of this. The only thing O would do the same would be choosing the group that I am in. This is because we get along fairly well.

4. Think of your intended audience, what can you continue to do as you continue your life journey to help these people?
- I feel like I might need to continue helping the island by creating awareness of the situation that is harming our island and addressing the consequences that will affect our island if nothing is done. I also feel like discussing the different ways that evryone could do to help our island.
