procedures
Step 2: Students are instructed on how to come up with a pre-project survey and interviews that include questions on the amount of plastic production as well as the types of plastics and its usage before conducting the social investigation. The students will then adopt the ethical consideration such as courtesy calls, letter of requests, invitation letters, waivers and right to informed consent.

Step 4: After generating the results for the survey, interview and observation, the students will prepare a presentation through poster and/or power-point presentation with tables and graphs from the gathered results. Students exchange with at least two groups in SEA countries for their presentation to generate suggestions and recommendations that may help solve the problems of plastics in their community.
