****
1. The almost-final version of the 5 min. presentation is attached.
PLEASE rehearse it over the break, as we should start presenting right
after break.
2. Sodexho managers have expressed a desire to make a stance on the
Coca-cola issue soon, without even hearing position. One manager said
she may be against the campaign, because of the financial impact a
cancellation of the contract would have on the local economy.
We need to be prepared 2 address her concerns when we approach her.
that's why:
-CAROLINE B. will contact the bottling plant in Vermont, and ask how
many people the employ, how big of a customer is UVM, and where in New
England they distribute.
-JOE will ask U michigan, Rutgers U. and NYU how they dealt with that issue
-EMILY AND NATALIA will ask economics professors the positive economic
impact of replacing coke with local sodas and juices.
3. Earth week has tons of events, and we'll rock them!
the sustainability fair is on Fri, April 21. We'll have a table and
maybe drinks to distribute.
The parade is scheduled for Sat, April 22nd. we will dress up in trash
cans painted red with the words "killer cola on them", and distribute
literature. (sample: http://www.umich.edu/~coke/ click on "Click here
to see the picture!" ) EVERYONE think of places to get plastics cans
and paint from.
The cookout is also on Sat, April 22nd. we'll have a booth handing out
"real" dasani water: mud. that's what farmers in India get from their
wells thanks to Coke. LENA will find out if we can have Wanu, JOE will
ask Spritz.
NIKOLA will email all this info to Jess DeBiasio
4.
