What the Judges are Saying
Your commitment to recycling is commendable! Sustainability is a crucial topic for the environment. It's essential to educate the new generation and remind everyone of its importance. I appreciate the personal approach in the presentation, as it makes the project's creators and teachers more relatable. I recycle myself, but I don't compost. Starting and maintaining these habits requires effort. Composting can indeed be a bit challenging to start, but once it becomes a habit, it can be gratifying. It would also be helpful to see the recycling process and how it transforms into new products. Seeing the recycling process in action can be quite motivating and educational. Have you considered visiting a recycling facility or watching documentaries on the topic? They can provide a fascinating insight into how everyday items are transformed into new products. 🌱♻️
The concept is strong, and the idea is well-executed! However, there are some contradictions in the composting content—for example, meat and dairy appear in both the compostable and non-compostable lists. Additionally, the yellow headline color is quite similar to the white background, which makes readability a bit challenging. That said, I really appreciate the content and the message you're conveying—great job!
