Activist Proposal as. #3
For my group i would like to collect more members and more cans. The group currently 40 active members. Working members that is, there are several other people in the group but they don't do anything. It would be nice to have alot more members in the group to help out. I would also like to make this group really well known. I want people to collect cans at home to help out the cause. The more people who know about this group and take it seriously the more cans we would recieve. I think flyers and posters would help inform people. I could also put it on my status upate in Facebook. That would also help people to know about it. So then maybe they would want to join the group and help out. I ask around and tell people that they need to save their old aluminum cans. More members would equal a lot more cans. I could ask around at resuraunts or eating places that have drinks served in aluminum cans what they do with the cans. I would also ask them to please save them to help out the cancer patients. Throwing away aluminum cans after you use them is easy. But is it really that hard to have a bag to throw your cans in to save people's lives? Another idea i had for this group to bost the number of cans would be to go to parties and collect the empty beer cans. People drink alot more beer than they do anything else and this would really add up the cans. Not only are you recycling but you are, reducing landfill space, room in your waste basket, and helping out people in Riley's childrens hospitals. You could save a life!

I never knew that you could collect cans for cancer patients. I work at a hospital and i know that all of the drinks we give patients come out of cans. So you might want to go to St. Mary's and ask if you can set up a can trashcan in each wing in the hospital, because i know you would get a ton of them. Another cool idea would be to get a video to play on public sphere day, because i know that st. jude's always makes videos about their cancer patients, and i think that would really hit home with a bunch of people. Do tabs make any money either? i know a lot of people who have tabs that they just collect that could be brought in too. Your strengths in this paper are the ideas that you have. They are some creative ideas. The weakness of your proposal is that i had no idea what you were going to do with all of these cans until the end of your writing. Could you maybe say what this money goes towards at Rileys Hospital? But overall, it was a very good idea.
ReplyDeleteYour project sounds very interesting. I had two problems with your proposal. The first being, I don't know what group you are a member of. My second problem is, at the beginning I was really confused because I wasn't clear on what your project was at all. An idea for a public literacy document would be flyers, or maybe bring something you can collect cans in, and something about what the cans do for cancer patients. I would try to work with people's emotions because people always feel sorry for people with cancer.
