Survey Analysis: The Climate Change

Two weeks ago we put out a survey to see how people are using their water and what they believe is causing the drought. Around 22 people replied and we got an array of results. The first question we asked was how long you spend in the shower. 50% of the people spent 10-20 minutes, 31% spent 5 minutes or less, and 18% spent 7 minutes. The 7 minutes was not an option however, we made an extra section for "other responses" and fair amount of people replied, so giving people the option to comment on each question was very informative. The next question pertained to how people conserve their water. Almost all (90%) turn off water while using the sink and around 70% said they do/ would spend less time in the shower & don't water their lawn. For the final question we asked what people think is really causing the drought, and almost all said it was climate change. Today we posted the survey in the junior class Facebook page and we hope to get more responses and analyze the new results in a few weeks. A small setback was getting the word out, but i just checked and in under 10 minutes we got 5 more responses. Hearing others opinions on our survey and seeing how other people think about the drought really helped us get a glance into how are community views the drought (more specifically teens). Also the comments of fellow classmates on our last post helped us get the word out more (since they suggested putting it on fb). They help us see new ways to keep up the progress of our project.

Survey here if you haven't taken it already

SURVEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Our project is off to a good start! A big part of our project is to educate the public on the drought. In order to do that, we decided to find out what the majority of people are doing to save water through an online survey, which you can take here!!! The only setback we've had so far is finding people to talk to about the drought. We've learned that it's hard to get information out there and to make sure that what we're doing is actually making a difference. Our next step is to find people to interview about the drought and what they think is the best way to fix it. We'll be asking people of all ages questions about the cause of the drought, the effects of the drought on our community, and solutions to the drought.
