So we found the problem
Now the solution:
I have spoken about the solution in the past with my other blogs, but I will reiterate my solution. I propose a service in which recycling bins are disbursed around gainesville at locations with college and residential housing. This way, we can target multiple kinds of people. Those who generate decent amounts of recycling and reduce trash, will be given vouchers or coupons of some kinds for companies and restaurants all around gainesville. To advertise and hand out the coupons for specific restaurants, they can sponsor us, or form a partnership. This way, they pay to have mobile and direct advertisements, and people get in the habit of tossing out recycling and trash. It both helps businesses and communities. On top of that, collection would be done with volunteer or efficient vehicles that do not require much maintenance or power. As a startup, it could help to enlist volunteer help through working with campus organizations. Finally, the recycling would go to a large recycling business like Waste Management or Republic Services.
Hi Hassan,
ReplyDeleteI think your solution about recycling bins could work. It is a very good idea because I think college students especially take advantage of all the free food and coupons that they can get. The advertisements would have to be placed all over campus and off campus for this idea to truly work out. I think you did an awesome job with your post!
Hi Hassan,
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this idea and think it is such a creative incentive for college students to start recycling. The coupons and free food would definitely encourage students to be more green since we all are on a budget and have busy schedules. When creating a new product or idea, it is important that your product will not only benefit you and your company, but that it benefits the overall well-being of society. Your idea will help create positive change and can impact so many people. Great job.
Hi Hassan,
ReplyDeleteGood job coming up with this solution! I really like the addition of coupons because it creates an incentive for people to use the recycling bins and also for the businesses because they would look sustainable and have more business. This kind of reminds me of getting .10 or .15 for returning glass bottles but with a more modern take.
