I visited three different advocacy projects which included the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the Opioid Epidemic, and Poverty on Campus. I thought all of these projects did a good job educating people on each specific topic, and they all called for numerous changes to be made in order to solve the problems presented. Normally, people want changes to be made in order to solve a problem, but they do not educate people on the necessary steps needed in order to make a difference. However, in all of these projects, there were specific things in each project that educated the audience on how to help out with a specific cause.
After looking at these three projects, I thought of an idea that I may be interested in doing my project on in the future. One thing that has always interested me is America’s drug overdose epidemic. It is very shocking that so many people die from drug overdoses everyday, and it seems that more should be done to help these people before they get to the point of overdosing.
