Couture Essence

In the spirit of good competition and fellowship, I am going to go talk about another group’s project. I’ll be talking about Couture Essentials…

                After the project presentation was over I learned a few things. I learned that I should definitely be recycling bottles for money. Being broke is a choice. I also learned that a lot of what we throw away is reusable, and there are recycling companies that put forth minimal effort to actually recycle. The project and presenters did a really good job of educating the audience on an issue that is often ignored. Recycling is often a topic that is viewed with an attitude like “we’ll get to it when we get to it.” The solution proposed was to not only recycle but to repurpose, sell and redistribute to charity. The initial concept was thought out and the research was definitely done.

                The more I thought about the project however, I had some lingering questions. How would people be encouraged to participate in this program? As far as I know, everyone would be there on a volunteer basis. People on whole are pretty self-serving until the holiday season. I also don’t know what the big drawing factor would be for people to see this as more than garbage. The older generations would probably see all the products as diseased and unclean regardless of what is done to it. I know that not every conglomerate in the market will agree with a product, but elderly and middle aged people have a good percentage of the buying power in our market.  Beyond that, I would like to know what this organization has that would overpower someone’s desire to freelance their own repurposed creations from internet/Pinterest instructions.

                But all in all I commend the presenters of this project on their presentation. I enjoyed the visual aspect of the PowerPoint and the physical manifestation.  The ladies who presented this project obviously spent time on it and it shows.
