Inforgraphic- Kunho

What

• This infographic is intellectually stimulating because it provides several facts and statistics that support its message that composting is important.
• The information on the infographic stays relevant to the reader because everyone throws away trash and food scraps that could potentially be used for composting.
• The way the information is portrayed in the infographic is also very creative. It makes use of a garbage bag and divides it up into the percentages that shows how much of the garbage thrown out every day is compostable.

Gut

• The graphic did make me feel like the community and people in general weren’t doing enough to compost. However, I also felt optimistic because infographics like these will eventually help raise awareness and increase the rate of composting.

So What

• I hadn’t thought of how much of the garbage we throw out every day is able to be composted. The infographic really does a great job in showing just really how much wasted potential that is.
• The organization, Institute for Local Self-Reliance, gathered its data from many different sources such as the EPA.

Now What

• I don’t think that many students have considered how much of an impact they could make on the environment if they began to compost half of the things they would have just mindlessly thrown in the trash.
• I think that many students haven’t thought of this because they weren’t aware and didn’t know.
• I think that an infographic that both informs and inspires/motivates students to make small changes in their lives to contribute to a big change on the environment is necessary!
