Project of Passion

After our slight difficulty rounding everyone up for a meeting, we all had some ideas about our research project. It is quite difficult for three varying minds to converge and agree on the same idea and presentation. But surprisingly, after leaning on a table in the natural light of Lakefront on Langdon for no more than a half hour, we had both our subject of research and the style of presentation agreed upon. The idea sprang from one chair, with each seat feeding to the river of thoughts.“Oh, that’s a good idea, and how bout we………..”“Yeah, I like that, and after we have our information we could add…………..”“I really like the pamphlet idea. And it can be colorful!”“The community will be able to use this, so we’re working for something more than just the grade.” Then within a few more minutes our proposal was written and the work was divide up. We all agreed on the objective and were looking forward to the work (strange, I know!). When we first sat down, we just sort of tossed around ideas but no one caught one we really wanted to work on. So, for the first five or so minutes it was random thinking, but once decided on a topic of research it was nothing but strikes.I left our meeting feeling a bit of anticipation for the project. I know, it is for school, but in this particular case it is something of interest, not just an assigned generic topic. It will be a lot of work, but in the end it will be completely worth it because we ourselves will be better consumers and we will have also supplied others with the means of being globally conscience when they go out for their morning coffee or business lunch. This little pamphlet could affect those in other places, farmers we will never know, simply by boosting the demand for their organic or fairly traded products. Alright economics, let’s get to it!
