BACKGROUND
Each year, roughly 100 million
animals are put under horrible THE

test toxic chemicals. This is a

animals ranging from frogs to products that are cruelty-free and safe

due to all of the experiments
that they are used for.
 STATEMENT OF NEED
WHY?
It is important to save the
animals from their unsafe
living conditions and to
provide them with a better
life. They did nothing to
deserve their horrible
treatment. Although some
may argue that animals
should be tested because
they are not humans, it is a
waste of the animals' lives
and can be avoided.
Sometimes, the testing is
not effective because
animals can not get many
diseases that humans can
get from the chemicals.
WHAT IS
ALREADY BEING
DONE
Scientists are working
towards creating cells that
are more similar to humans
than animals. This is so that
product testers can stop
testing on the animals and
start testing on man-made
cells instead. The issue is
that this costs a lot of
money and the idea is still
being polished.
 PROJECT ACTIVITY
METHODOLOGY AND OUTCOMES
The idea is to make replacements for products that are tested on animals and sell
them. This way, I would educate the buyers about animal testing while also
collecting money to donate to non-profit, cruelty-free organizations.
The outcome of this process will be that more people will become aware that the
products they use could have been tested on innocent animals. At the same time, I
will be able to gather money and send it to organizations that work to resolve the
issue.

EVALUATION
I plan to make the products out of 100% cruelty-free
materials. I want to make as much product that I can with
the time and money given. A few examples of products
that I could make are candles, soap bars, and hair
products. The benefits of this are that when people buy
from me, they will know that all of the money will be going
to a good cause along with the fact that that I will spread
the word about animal testing by teaching the consumers
about the harmful effects of animal testing in the process.
 DISSEMINATION
My goal is to sell at least 2/3 of the amount of the products that I
make. To get the word out there about the products that I will be
making, I can send out a social media post to promote the idea. I
can also ask that some of my friends and family share the post so
that more people can hear about the issue. By just reading the
post, they will be introduced to the issue. This way, they will still
benefit even if they decide not to purchase anything. To take this
a step further, I could reach out to more well-known companies in
an attempt to spread the word even more.

BUDGET/FUNDING
The materials that I need are supplies that will allow me to make
the products. I am planning to make cleaning products that are
100% cruelty free. In order to do this I will need some money to
get started. Each material I need comes from a special organic and
animal friendly company.
