ON THE ISSUE OF INITIATING PETITIONS ON WASTE MANAGEMENT ISSUES ON THE PORTAL CHANGE.ORG
The article presents the results of an analysis of the authorship of 623 petition campaigns on the platform Change.org on problems in the field of waste management. The study revealed that in the period 2014-2019, in most cases, petitions were created on behalf of individual rather than collective actors. The initiators of collectively created petitions were most often various territorial communities, not social organizations. When analyzing the authorship of single-handedly created petitions on issues related to the treatment of solid municipal waste, no significant gender differences were found.
