Installing Solar Panels--Olivia Entry #2

"Were you successful in convincing people to make a change in their lives in regards to your project? Why do you think they did or did not agree to make a change? What did you learn about what it takes to persuade people to make a change in their lifestyle and how can you more effectively convince people to make a change if you were to do this again?"

I was successful in convincing people  to make a change in their lives in regards to my project. My family, my grandparents, and my neighbor all said that they would drive less even though they couldn't afford solar panels. I learned that if you give someone a cheap, easy option to follow, like bike more, they are more likely to agree than to agree to buy solar panels. 

           

If I were to do this again, I would have added interviews with people with solar panels instead of a purely fictional story. I also would have gone more in-depth with my solution; more of my project was the problem.
