• Capturing the behavioral change through video documentation and the lesson learnt from the islands where replication of good waste management practices are implemented after the awareness campaign
• Widely distribute the final documentary showing the behavioral change brought about by increasing awareness on the issue through distributing the documentary and airing it on television.
