Creative aspect - select one of the following projects:

Using the knowledge that you have about composting, create a plan for Perspectives to have composting. Consider space, time, and how much work it will take. Also, discuss where you will get the materials (compsot bins, coffee grounds, newspapers, etc.).

Using your marketing ability, create a marketing strategy to get people to compost. Develop a speech that you would give to Ms. Wright on the pros and cons, create posters that will entice people to compost, and even create a poster about what can be composted for the kitchen staff.

We will be working on this project on Thursday in class. It will be due Friday. You may work in groups, but there can ONLY be 3 people in the group.
