The

at the universities in Brno and Aberystwyth and to see if there are any
differencies between opinions among respondents from various universities´
environment.
We
compared students’ attitudes towards recycling at Masaryk and Aberystwyth universities by:
1)
distributing short questionnaires and collecting data from them
2) analyzing and comparing the collected data
3) getting know, if there are visible
differences in the attitudes at the two universities
4) presenting our results at the
videoconference and giving them to decisions makers at our faculty
