Project

My project is going to specifically concentrate on water population in Northern Ireland, more specifically Derry/L/Derry.  I would like this to be a visual piece that will aid or stop water pollution. 

As part of the research for this I have concentrated on Northern Ireland Waters and the issues located within these.   As a result of this I have made arrangements to meet with the Green Party, Derry City Council, Loughs Agency and the Northern Ireland Wild Life Trust to get their aims and objectives around water pollution.  I will also endeavour to meet with all political parties within Northern Ireland to gain an overview of their position on this issue. 

I propose my project will specifically look at the use of plastic bags and the fact that they are not bio-degradable.  This was a major issue in Southern Ireland and so the charge for bags was imposed.  Since no such charge exists in Northern Ireland where are these bags going?  Ultimately they will end up in the ocean.  It is my objective through this project to reduce the amount of plastic bags circulating in this city.
