Robin is a young adult, and a working professional. They has plenty of free time and disposable income and due to a concern for the environment wants to use those resources to be more environmentally responsible. Robin is frustrated when the city doesn't process certain materials through city programs, since Robin primarily uses the city's bin programs to reuse and recycle. As an internet connected person, Robin likes to be notified about new things they can do to be green: robin loves to attend events about reuse and recycling, and tries to shop "green" and "local" as much as possible. Robin has the resources to quickly make lifestyle changes, and wants to know about new initiatives the city or organizations are offering as soon as possible.

### Description
Chuck is a young man who has been struggling to financially survive since he lost his job as a line cook at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. While Chuck is working at a temporary job, he has very little free time. However, when he is unemployed, most of his time is spend job hunting or refurbishing second-hand furniture that he can sell for extra money. Chuck is more concerned with his own survival than saving the environment. Chuck is often frustrated by how difficult it is to find and access inexpensive second-hand items through social media and City of Saskatoon programs. He wants all of the resources for second-hand items to be in one place, so he doesn’t have to waste his data searching for all the different programs or scrolling through second-hand item groups on social media. He also wants to be able to find items that are located close to his apartment because his transportation options are limited.

### Description:
Sheldon is a working single parent who resides with his three children in a rental home that also houses additional roommates in a basement suite. Being a working parent and trying to stay on top of maintaining a living space with three children can be a struggle, and Sheldon often doesn’t have time to keep his home as organized as he would like. He finds himself constantly battling to sustainably dispose of toys, clothing, and household wares that his children continually outgrow. Additionally, his tight income makes finding affordable replacements for these items a priority. Sheldon would love to encourage his kids to reuse, reduce, and recycle, but this desire often takes a back seat to temporal and financial realities.
