Public opinion poll

Some days ago, after our meeting with BarCamp EVN 09 organizers, we divided into 3 groups and organized public opinion poll. Themes of the groups were different: Web2 technologies, Media and about Teghut forest (in Armenia). We made videos, but unfortunately we can't show them to you because of their big size. Here you can see snapshots from those videos...



So, regarding public opinion poll.
Our group was asking people if they are aware of the ecological problems of Teghut forest and what are their thoughts regarding the issue.

For information: The Armenian Copper Programme, a privately owned company, plans to build a massive open-pit copper mine in the small town of Teghut, Armenia. The mine threatens local ecosystems and communities. Here are some of the problems it poses: Increased deforestation, Threatened wildlife, Air pollution, Water pollution.

Results:

Some said, that our government wants to make places where people can work. We can't say that it's wrong, but we think that forests are also important. And what is interesting??? Many people really believe that the government is ready to do everything for the improvement of the nation. Some people are against the destruction of the forest.

Some people think that they form a minority and can't change anything. There was a guy, who said that he doesn't want to do anything, because he doesn't like the country and is planning to leave forever. We continued our discussion with the guy and he became interested in DOTCOM and what we do. We exchanged our contacts, as he said he would be glad to cooperate.
