My name is Uriel and I have created two survey questions that could help our school further understand the data collected from our water fountain regarding 20 oz bottles saved.

Wow, Uriel! When you asked to survey, I wasn’t aware you were prepared to be so thoughtful about the results. I agree that this data definitely points to the need for a “Use Your Water Bottle” campaign at the school. Perhaps we can begin working on this in the Fall when we pass out the water bottles to new students. Ms. Amanda and I can also make sure that we mention your research to families during family orientation. Thanks for gathering this information!!
I really appreciated the curiosity you have about such an important topic. You represented the data very clearly and presented a dilemma that you can tackle as a next step – how to convince more people to refill water using reusable vs. disposable water bottles. I wonder what ideas you have to convince people to make this important change?
Great surveying work Uriel! This seems like something that could be shared with your principal, if they saw it I wonder if they might find a way to provide more plastic water bottles to students. You make some great points here. Kudos on using data to describe a problem that you see in your community
