I love the idea about genetic-modified bacteria and the way your team presented it was very captivating, convincing, and informative…However, I am still resistant to agree that the idea will be more cost-effective or feasible compared to recycling, considering environmental risk impacts from culturing, processing, and tainting our environment with an biological bacteria that are not fully studied, predictable or controllable. Bacteria can’t survive in a low-oxygen environment in old landfills, so does it mean that we have to build new specialized facilities and transport all the plastics, and what kind of fuel, energy, or resource consumption needed to operate and sustain the facilities/bacteria? Will that be worthy or even safe? (Sorry, I support recycling as well as my favorite Target bags that were under attack :-)) The art presentation was very fascinating and professionally portrayed with great catchy introduction from Coleen’s team about how to think “out of the box” and growing your right brain for innovation. The wellness presentation from the ladies group was not new, but brought us to a deeper, higher recognition and reinforcement of its importance. Companies have been doing some fitness activities; but because of the budget and time constraints, I don’t think it will be implemented to a full scale or extent that Alexandra’s team recommended. Overall, very well-done, excellent presentations!
Jane’s speech is undoubtedly inspiring and encouraging. I am sure it was pretty tough for her at first to connect, build trust and partnership with businesses. It seems to me like that she can succeed in being an effective social entrepreneur not only thanks to her fearless and persevering passion, but also her real life experience to realize what works and her free will to live her dream, not being tied down to money or pressured to make profits.
