I felt a lot of our feasibility studies had highly sustainable aspects to them. For example, the idea in Hillary’s project to join forces with their local schools works perfectly because it links us with students to promote scholarship and higher learning while in the process also helps out the community in giving the opportunity for being creative. Tying them into Earth Day would be wonderful too. Having them do easy projects with the guarantee of having an end product: a tree to watch grow is a great idea to have them feel a sense of belonging within their community. To know that their hands actually touched the soil right in there backyard, figuratively of course, could really go a long way. It would add a sense of pride to the community. I love the dirt cups idea as well because I used to do that in school and loved it. Brian’s idea of using trash was definitely original and I would love to also use stuff they already find amongst themselves to create our final project. But I am sure we do understand where difficulties would arise. Joy’s idea to project different images on different platforms is great and I believe the walking tour would be a wonderful touch. In terms of feasible projects, each project idea had do-able components. I definitely see us all collaborating effectively on what can be taken from each one to create our final product. I love the idea of having local vendors contribute but wonder if we are limited in that there are probably very few and of that few, them having enough to sacrifice may be an issue as well. Nonetheless, I know it will be easy to find donors whether they are local or outside of the community. I am so excited about us having the ball rolling and seeing everyone’s creative juices flowing!
This is random but I just wanted to throw in here that I love “The Good’s” as a title, it made me crack up :)
