Attitudes

My attitude toward this project is that I like it. There are underlying reasons that I like it, and those include the fact that I am interested in protecting the environment and keeping it clean. The cognitive component of my attitude is that we are polluting the earth with electronic and other types of waste. This was positive for me because it fit with the project idea. The affective component of this attitude is that I want (and am motivated) to do something to help reduce the amount of e-waste. The positive aspect of my motivation is just that, my motivation to participate in group meetings, discussions, and tasks. The behavioral component of my attitude is explained by my participation in the group, spreading awareness of e-waste, and my active searching for e-waste in my home and the home of my family. The positive aspect of my behavioral component is that we will have more e-waste to bring to the cleanup day our group is attending.

My attitude has had a positive impact in our group because I am very motivated to do something proactive to reduce this problem. I think it is important that we follow through with this idea because e-waste is detrimental to the environment and to the health of future generations.
