GRAPHS
We expected to find, during the interviews, more people categorized as “medium environmentally friendly”, according to the observations we did. This discrepancy can be link to a social factor: they tend to think that the environment is important because other people say it is right and not because they believe in it.

CONCLUSION
Final Conclusion
Principal Idea
Main issues
Two distinct behaviors
- Economic problem; higher costs of non-plastic products
- People interested to the reduction of the plastic in an active way
FINAL CONCLUSION
- Understand if the bar’s owners are interested in reducing the usage of plastic
- Socio-cultural problem; lack of knowledge and carelessness
- People who think that it’s an important issue but are still waiting for others to find solutions
Observations
1. The ones that are already doing something commit themselves to find some easy and as sustainable as possible solutions that everybody can emulate.
2. One of the bar analyzed is already part of the Milan’s plastic free group
OBSERVATIONS
3. Results may be seen only in future / NoLo is a small reality = easier
4. Important to make people conscious about the plastic issue / Make them used to new sustainable daily habits
