Journal Discussion for Friday December 14, 2007

Hello everyone!  This journal discussion is intended to gain feedback on our action project this week.  Please respond with your comments on how the sales of our Eco-products have gone thus far.  Do you think that selling bags and CFL’s was a worthwhile experience?  If you were to repeat this past week of selling what would you have done differently or the same?  Do you think that our marketing strategy was successful and were your efforts to reduce the environmental impact of people in our community well received?  What was your favorite aspect of this project and how did your individual efforts help the class project as a whole?
