From Awareness to Action: Analyzing existing e-waste management policies and infrastructure in Barnet

Research question

How can community awareness initiatives be effectively designed and implemented to empower residents of Barnet to take meaningful action in managing electronic waste (e-waste) within their households and communities?

Identify the local environmental/climate problem you want to investigate

The local environmental problem under investigation is the management of electronic waste (e-waste) in the Barnet community. This encompasses the challenges associated with the disposal and recycling of electronic devices, which pose significant environmental and health risks if improperly handled. The research question focuses on exploring the design and implementation of community awareness initiatives aimed at empowering Barnet residents to address e-waste within their households and communities. By understanding how such initiatives can effectively raise awareness, educate residents, and promote sustainable practices, the study seeks to identify strategies that foster meaningful engagement and action. Ultimately, the goal is to contribute to the development of practical solutions for managing e-waste at the local level, thereby mitigating its adverse environmental impact and promoting a more sustainable future for the Barnet community.
