I then began to re think how I would go about the book in terms of being direct with the intended audience and still appropriate to the brief.
Although we were realistacly meant to do all our reaserch for this project in the christmas holidays, I still wanted to improve it and also make it more specific, so In doing so I began to identify rubbish issues in leeds specificly.
Heres a little from leeds city council:
Our aim is to collect as much recyclable waste as possible. The materials collected from the green recycling bins are passed onto a contractor. The contractor separates all the materials using mechanical and manual sorting. The materials can then be sold on to be used to make new products. Here is a virtual tour of the materials recycling facility (MRF). The council has implemented various schemes to help reduce and reuse your waste.
We collect any excess recyclable waste at the same time as your green wheeled bin as long as it is loose in transparent bags. Please make sure any excess recyclable waste is placed in a plastic bag, do not use a black bag because this will not be collected.
All drinks cans, plastic bottles and food cans must be washed out before placing in green bins/bags to avoid contamination. Squashing them will give you additional space in your bin.
I also then created a way of finding out and collection information from my target audience of the book which was students in the area. In specifying this I thought it would be wise to create a facebook group in which I could potensially get a collection of answers. The outcome was actualy quite helpful, and most were quite humerous. Heres a few answers:
- seems pretty insignificant compared to other problems we should be thinking about, so i just dont bother. ANDY JONES
- I do put them in the right coloured bins! Just that sometime we get them muddled up when taking them down and forget which ones were in which bins! TIM WAN
- main reason being the recycling bins given especially in certain areas are not collected on a regular basis or sometimes not at all. other than that we don't have enough information on where and how to recycle. MARTYN WOOLLEY
- I'm lazy :) CHARLOTTE MINDEL

I then began to just do a little resurch into the general bid to improve the environment. The news was obviously an important one:
