I had this idea to use a dating app that also functions as a “find a new bff” app to take a sort of poll. Because recycling is incredibly important to me, I want to ensure anyone I date, and also any new friends or chatting buddies, feel the same way. So, my idea is to use Bumble BFF to ask each individual person whether or not they recycle, and why? If they don’t recycle, would they consider it, and if not to ask why they refuse to. Without preaching, I will try to help them understand from an ecofeminist prospective about the harmful effects of waste on our planet and in our oceans, and explain how recycling alone can help us start to improve our planet and quality of living.

My plan is to take the next 3-4 days and message as many people as possible. Those who respond to my question will be notified that it’s for an assignment, and I will keep names anonymous. I would like to ask 10-20 people if possible to get a good varied handful of responses. With each response I will mark down their age, location, and opinions on the matter of recycling. Once I get all of my data collected, I will post the results and my analysis for you guys.
