"Greetings!" to those of you, who are intellectual enough to read the series of the Gifted and Talented II class blogs.
With that amazing and intriguing greeting, I would like to tell you, the reader, about the next Gifted and Talented II "project." If you refer to the blog post that was posted on March 22, I mentioned a company called, "SnapGoods," and I also talked about an innovative and intellectual economic strategy called, "Collaborative Consumption."
The Gifted and Talented II class is in the process of completing the challenging mission of re-organizing and re-inventing the Northern Burlington County School District's recycling and waste disposal program (because we all know that a school like ours needs it just as bad as a baby might need its pacifier... except this baby isn't crying for it; the fact of the matter is that this baby is a bit careless and doesn't really want the pacifier, but it would be fine with it... just until it spits it out again).
Back to the project: the Gifted and Talented Class has been divided into two separate units:
The Green Team
&
The Collaborative Consumption Team
The Collaborative Consumption team has created a website, which, as of the current time, is under construction. Click here to view its greatness!
Overall, the Collaborative Consumption Team looks to improve the school's economic position through environmentally-friendly methods. For example, throughout the past four or five days, a small group of Collaborative Consumption team members and I have been surveying several teachers throughout the school in order to derive a list of unwanted and unused items. In place of those unused and unwanted items will stand new and more useful items. How do we hope to acquire such "a deal?"
...Swap.com. Through swap.com, we hope to find other schools willing to trade older, though useful items for items that our school will never use. Therefore, our school does not have to spend money (even though it should) and we get new stuff!
How great is that?!
Anyway, I will continue to update my microscopic amount of readers with more information as we continue through our long journey.
