Description
There are too many species being harmed by the amount of pollution being generated due to the lack of properly disposing non-reusable products. This study was conducted to see if people actually choose reusable products over non-reusable products while shopping. By recording participants choices during a simulated shopping experience, we found that those who saw informative videos and were given same price for reusable and non-reusable products chose more reusable products. Purchasing reusable products will decrease the amount of unexpected harmful outcomes species encounter.
