2. Mission Statement
We are a team of students from Umass
Dartmouth who would like to make a
sustainable impact on recycling habits in New
Bedford. We plan to inform the community
through public service and radio
announcements to promote the do’s and
don’ts or recycling in the area.
3. SMART Goals
To ensure sustainability of the PSA scripts.
Film and release 5 PSA’s with New Bedford cable
access to be aired before Thanksgiving (November
21st, 2013).
Get at least 500 YouTube views collectively of the
PSA’s.
Get an A as a team.
Encourage recycling to those who don’t (Including
education on where to get blue bins and what should
and should not be in blue bins).
Reach English and Spanish speaking residents in New
Bedford and surrounding area about importance and
benefits of recycling.
