You must have 4 (minimum) data points that are collected from your data source (e.g., my topic is waste - my data source is my weekly waste audit)

The 4 data points must be collected over four different weeks (e.g., over 4 weeks); having multiple data points in one week does not meet the criteria

You must include screenshots of your data sources as evidence to support your baseline numbers - See the PowerPoint file on how to read water, gas, and electric meters, a selfie of you completing a waste audit each week, etc.

NOTES: In your baseline data gathering, you must consider the following:

The data gathering - should follow your study proposal submission (Part 1); if different, explain why a change from what was presented in the study proposal.

How often, where, and how was data to be gathered?

The data measurement scale is used, i.e., kg, km, kwh, etc.

Provide a table AND a chart with the data values gathered.

Data sources need to be current, reflecting your activity and life.

Show evidence of the data source, e.g., screenshots, photos, etc.

Briefly describe your thoughts, conclusions, or realizations from the data collected. In other words, what does this mean to you? What are the environmental or sustainability implications?
