Evidence- My thinking can change the way I live as I thought about Plastic bag overuse and I
cause a shift in thinking in my community then I won’t be living near big piles of plastic and the
klong will be cleaner. Fewer animals will die around me. The air will be cleaner.

Evidence- We put posters around our community to persuade people to use alternatives. To get
the people’s emotions evolved we added some facts and statistics. We also are ourselves
carrying cloth bags to inspire others. We will also talk with the central owner to stop the usage
of plastic and persuadethe usage of cloth. I saw people carrying their own bags and we went to
some floors to ask if the carry their own bag or not. Most of them said yes though some said no.
Through the final staging some people said they will use a cloth bag now.
