Thanks Lorina, that gave e lots of help!

I've chosen to do a Litterless Lunch Box and a Reduce, Reuse and Recycle Project incorporated in one research proposal.
I've answered the aspects in which I would like t know more about, and the brief rationale for the project. But I'm now unsure how to write my research statement that can summarize the main aim of the research project. How can I write this statement? What should I include?

Is it possible for Child Care Centers to use recyclable materials provided in the children’s lunchboxes to reduce the rubbish output of the center?

This has been my attempt of a research question. Is it good enough or should I extend on it?
