S.M.A.R.T.


 * Is your action S.M.A.R.T.??????? **

S. Specific - Is your idea specific enough? Has it been narrowed down so that it is easier to take action on? M. Measurable - Can you and your teachers tell if you have achieved your goal? A. Actionable - Is it possible to do? Is it achievable? R. Relevant - Does your action relate to your problem? T. Time-bound - Will you be able to achieve your goal in the given amount of time?

**How Our Action Is S.M.A.R.T.:**

**S**. Our idea, originally being sea turtles has been narrowed down all the way to green sea turtles in Hong Kong. **M**. Our idea is measurable. If we manage to get people to understand that sea turtles are endangered and if we manage to do a beach clean up and get the school to stop using plastic bottles then we will have succeeded. **A.** Our idea is actionable. If we organize and use time well, we will be able to get the plastic bottles banned and do a beach clean up. **R.** Our idea is relevant. We will do a beach clean up because sea turtles need a clean beach to be able to come up to the shore and lay their eggs there, otherwise they get stuck in the middle of the beach. Banning plastic bottles is relevant because sometimes plastic bottles are chucked out into the sea and go into the habitats of sea turtles, destroying their homes. **T.** Our idea is time bound. We are going to do a beach clean up next week and have already started the process of banning plastic bottles from the school, have designed and ordered SIGG water bottles and are just waiting for them to arrive.
