When it says write a clear research statement, question that summarises the main aim of the research. What does this mean. I dont understand what my response should be to that.
P.s. mine is on recycling

Ok, so you need to think of what you want to achieve with "recycling" within a centre and then how you will achieve the statement...

For example: "Implement a Composting System with Lunch time food scraps" etc.
