Changing Energy usage to Solar Panels or Something Else Eco-friendly - Michelle Rao 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 not successful in convincing people to make a change in their lives in regards to our group's project. My mom said that we are a looking for a house to buy and when we buy a house, we won't have enough money to but solar panels, hybrids, etc. I learned that it is very hard to persuade people to make a change when it could affect their entire life. I think we can more effectively convince people to make a change if we were to do this again if we faced everyone we were convincing as an entire group. Also, we can give more PROS and emphasize the differences we can make to help the earth.
