After a series of actions, we have visited the beverage stores and breakfast stores around Lu Jiang Elementary School and introduced the Luzhou Cup plan to them one by one. In the end, 13 merchants are willing to cooperate. | |||
During the process, we have found that most store owners identify with our plan and they are willing to support this activity. But it is a pity that most chain beverage stores cannot participate in the activity of Luzhou Cup because they have made the agreement with the head office. Even so, the salesclerks in these chain stores encourage and support us. Among them, the salesclerk in one store advises us to seek for help in public sectors! Through this interview with the store owners, we feel that most merchants hope that our environment will become better and better! |
Future
We ever considered using the stainless steel to make the cup according to the questionnaire results. But the expenditure is a nerve-racking problem. If these cups are made in quantity, we need to consider the subsequent issues such as production cost, selling price and market size. Of course, this is beyond our abilities. Therefore, after the discussion between principal and director, they intend to use the expenditure which the school can afford to make the plastic Luzhou Cup and these cups will be given to all the students as the gift on Children’s Day.
Our team intends to implement the Luzhou Cup plan in the stores near the school for a period of time and then investigate their actual use. In the end, the achievements will be sent to Luzhou District Office or New Taipei City Government, so that these public sectors can use more administrative resources to make the second generation Luzhou Cup in the future and call on more stores to join in the plan. We hope that the pattern of Luzhou Cup will be pasted in more and more stores in Luzhou, so that the environment in our city can become better for the reason of Luzhou Cup.
Besides, we also hope that Luzhou Cup will become a kind of new value in the future to affect each county and city to further effectively reduce the resource waste and slow down the destruction on environment.
In the end, it is expected that our dream of “Luzhou Cup” can soothe the pain in the inner heart of cleaning crew to realize their inner dream. Thus, we can finally see the bright smile on their face.
Postscript:
Planning process of Luzhou Cup:
1. The principal’s support has been gained, we are ready to make Luzhou Cup and Lu Jiang Elementary School begins to run a pilot scheme.
2. We will seek for the style and material of the cup, so that Student Affairs Office and General Affairs Office can refer to them to call for bids.
