Interview with Erin and Sarah

Topic: The pro-environment status at UCF

1. What is the real problem with the environment that everyone is worried about?
The problem is the fear of the end of the world and people who don’t take care about the Earth which affects everyone.
2. Where do the recycled materials from the UCF bins go?
They think the materials go to a much larger recycling company.
3. What does recycling actually do for the environment?
You’re reusing so you don’t take up as many resources, less trees are cut down,and it reduces waste.
4. Where are people buying the pro-environment clothes?
Stores include Wal-Mart (shirt made out of bottles), pink at Victoria’s Secret, and many other stores.
5. Is there a group or organization at UCF that discusses the environment issues?
They don’t know what it is called but they do have town house meetings.
6.How do you know what you know? (evidence)
She lives in Brevard “the green hall” at Libra and was given recycling bins for her room.
7.Who are you to the subject? (perspective)
They are students who recycle and live in dorms on campus.
8. How is this event connected to other events? (patterns or opposing forces)
The whole world is trying to “go green” and it is related to the global phenomenon (cars and water bottles) and recycled items rather than just on campus.
9.What if things were different? (suppositions/predictions)
If UCF didn’t recycle then we would be contributing to the environmental problems.
10. Why is this important? (significance)
If we don’t recycle and keep throwing everything away then the planet will not last very long.
