Our group met today (Wednesday, Feb 19th) from 12-12:40 in one of the library study rooms. This is where we are going to try to meet each week.
The people that attended were:
-David Dahle
-Anne Weber
-Angie Franco
-Rachelle Messner
Chelsea was at an interview, but she had the blog made and ready to go for us today.
We covered a lot of information today and we have a really good start so far. The topics that
were covered today were:
1. Bringing your own "to go" cup to the University Center coffee shop and C-store.
2. We could get a 10 cent discount for bringing the cup.
3. We are going to figure out how much plastic and cardboard we would save.
4. We were going to talk to the coffee ladies to find out how much is spent on plastic and
cardboard supplies.
5. We are going to figure out the different size options.
6. These cups/mugs would be provided during Week Of Welcome and sold at the
Falcon Shop.
7. Reduce:Reuse:Recycle
8. Rachelle is going to talk to the coffee ladies about this idea and to gather information
9. David is going to check out the prices of cups sold in the Falcon Shop.
Our next meeting is going to be next Wednesday the 26th at the same time, and the same place.
Sounds like a successful meeting with a lot of information discussed. Good work team! Let me know if I should be working on something through out the week. Otherwise I'll see you for our next meeting!
ReplyDeleteYou are off and running -- I love the enthusiasm! Keep in mind the group's goal: to solve a problem on campus. From what I see here, you're starting with a solution then identifying the problem that necessitates it. Once you do explore the problem, you just might find an even better solution than the one you originally started with -- if you allow for innovative/creative thinking, which is part of group processes I'd like you to experience this semester.
ReplyDeleteI talked to one of the ladies at Peregrine Perk today -- they sell about 250-300 hot drinks per day with about 1/3 being just coffee. We should probably find out cost of cups, sleeves, and lids. Also, not sure how to do it but need to determine about how much landfill space will be saved (because not everyone recycles).
