Overall, I think you guys have presented an interesting question with respect to sustainability attitudes and behaviour in the context of belief change. Your group definitely did not settle on a simple idea here and I think it made our job much more interesting....in a good way! Without further a due here are some thoughts:
Pros
The diversity in your plots captured relationships between variables quite nicely, particularly your pre- and post- video plots analyzed by either recycle frequency or age. It looks like the people that tended to have higher pre than post rankings were younger age groups. Do you think young people who possess high sustainability awareness can be negatively impacted by continued pressure/advertising? It's an intriguing finding, not just whose beliefs can we positively modify but who may be negatively impacting. These two plots really help visualize the key point of interest in your question, namely, are people's beliefs susceptible to modification?
You guys offered a thorough EDA that highlighted a variety of areas you measured, conveying potential effects or lack thereof. I thought you conveyed a lot of information here, would've been nice to see some similar plots arranged together (you did this once) but in general they are still presented in a sensical order with quality colour choice. The cohesive colour scheme adds to the work significantly, so that's great.
Cons
Would've liked you guys to consider other potential confounding factors tied to your outcome in this questionnaire or ones that may be even more important such as social stigma. Seems like everybody would want to say they are at least reasonably environmentally aware to avoid judgment or think well of themselves even if they in fact are not aware... right? If you can't control for this I feel like it could really bias your results. Wouldn't social stigma be a big confounder in people's self-reported self_rating_before & after, and recycling freq? Asking the question may not fix the issue, but it would at least cover the concern more effectively.
Also, I'd be very curious to see how individual's families that were not very environmentally conscious rated their pre- and post- sustainability ratings. I assume this would be the group you want want to actually have an impact on right? Might be good to show a plot for that effect too in potentially bolstering your findings.
The other part I feel like this milestone2 is missing is a fluid text narrative in your EDA that highlights the effects you found, and the ones you hypothesized as existent or non-existent. It's fundamental to convey your narrative, and while this is an awesome EDA technically speaking, it would help a lot to clarify for the reader using words as you move through the effects in the report how the EDA is progressing. It wouldn't be great if the cool question you guys asked and addressed in your work wasn't followed by people easily, so the explanations provided should help orient and guide people.
All in all though, great job guys! I liked this project choice and report.
