Chilean's perception of pollution

As our project ocntinued advancing we didn't feel there was a real aproach to what people think. So we designed a 2 surveys, one online and the other face-to-face, in order to know what our fellow citizens are thinking of pollution, science and scientific opportunities in Chile. The survey was very short and asked 3 important details:

1) Is pollution one of the Chile's main problems?
2) Who is mainly responsible for the pollution?
3) Is Greenhardtii Project useful?

Hoping it would be representative, the survey was done for a month (reaching aprox 700 people). We've got answers mainly from young people (15-25 years old), because of the social media. You can find our conclutions on Silver Medal.
