The current study motivated to study is that will the use of informative, educational posters (environmental awareness) influence the usage of the reusable cup on the UBC campus? To operate the study, we hypothesized the cognitive reminder on the consequences of environmental harmful behavior would increase the reusable cup usage. We used naturalistic observation to measure if the reusable cups using rate increased and an online survey to study the collect more data to study the possible influential factors that may affect the results. In the online survey, chi-square shows that our posters are more informative than UBC posters. However, the chi-square results show that form the naturalistic observation, and this is no significant relationship between the new posters exposure and the reusable cups using rate. Therefore, the results do not support our hypothesis. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have to collect naturalistic observation data after two days of the new posters exposure, and it may cause the failure to prove our hypothesis. The result of the descriptive analysis also suggests that our posters remain low exposure, and the posters' exposure extent is different at locations.
