Main results and Conclusions
The percentages of the trash collected in the researched areas

The diagram is a good overview of the project.. You can see which places are the dirtiest. On average, Laaerbergstrasse has the most rubbish (40%). Most things have changed at WIG; there is the least garbage (24%).
As a solution to this problem we would stick photos of the diagrams we made on the dustbins.

What’s Next? Actions to make a difference and help lessen the problem

The key to improving the situation is to raise awareness of the littering problem. As a solution to this problem we would put up the photos of the diagrams we had made on the trash cans to make the public aware of their participation in keeping the areas clean.
