Today we did a bit of brainstorming to choose what subject we wanted to explore, our favourite two were fair trade and costal clean up so we decided to whip up a pros and cons list for each of these subjects:
Fair Trade – Coffee Break
Pros
- - Call to action – personal.
- - Promote change for the better
- - Koha – to give the extra few $$
to help a good cause
- - Contributing to the less
fortunate – in a way that can be incorporated into our every day lives
- - Know where the product comes
from
- - Sustainability of culture and
cultural practice
- - Make both parties feel good.
- - Fostering a connection –
partnership
- - GLOBAL
- - Becoming more aware of our
environment/ relationships with the environment
Cons
-
Price
-
Limited target audience
-
Limited access for consumers –
limited variety
-
People who don’t care / choose
to be ignorant
-
People who don’t like fair
trade product
-
People who would prefer to shop
with local businesses
- Strategies:
- Making it an
experience.
- Making fare trade more
affordable – involving the community though networking – eg. Invite 10 of your
friends and get a group discount
Clean
up our coastline:
Pros:
- Doing something for the environment
- - Getting together as a community/ making a community
- - Taking pride in the environment – want beach to be clean
- - Keeping the slogan clean, green NZ
- - Making sure people aren’t disappointed – positive view on NZ

- - Giving people the opportunity to gain some knowledge of the
effects/ impacts trash has on our environment (peanut the turtle)
Cons

- - Having to find rubbish to photograph
- - Finding time where we are both free to commute to beach – when
needed
