Raising Awareness for Pollution Prevention Measuring Individual Pollution Indicators

Abstract

The research study aims to assess and raise awareness about pollution at the level of an individual, which would contribute to that individual being more careful and aware of the pollution he does and thus reduce the level of pollution in the future. As part of the project, software for measuring and analyzing the individual environmental footprint will be developed and the target will be the younger generation, students and high school students. All those that have been measured with a smaller environmental footprint and who passed the test and have been trained as part of project seminars and have been appointed ambassadors for environmental protection will receive a certificate. As part of the project, a seminar has been organized for education and to raise awareness about pollution. After all, all the ambassadors have been trained and went to other high schools and there they will hold in the presence of their mentors and the lectures about their experiences and awareness-raising and what are the benefits and show them how to use the online calculator that has been developed as part of the project. Research on the ecological footprint has been realized as an indicator of pollution and preservation of the environment. The project examines the current situation in issues related to energy management (increased energy use, limited reserves of raw materials, global warming, etc.). The findings discuss the results and recommendations are provided.
