  7. How I tied in my product to my research topic • My product was to design eco bags and posters, and distribute them in supermarkets. This helped spread awareness about the harms of plastic bags and advantaged of eco bags.

  8. My “stretch” in doing this particular product I learned many skills such as: • Verbal communication with the supermarket managers • Design skills when designing my blog and eco bag • Technical skills when using new programs to create the flyers

  9. The role my mentor played in the product My mentor helped me in: • picking the right bag according to the material, size, and shape. • Finding a place to print my design on the eco bag with reasonable prices • Choosing interesting and attention-grabbing facts to use for the flyers

  10. challenges • I had challenges in finding a supermarket that will promote the use of the eco bags and flyers.
