We met with Reilly, Cindy, and Ellen who are in charge of organizing Green Week. We plan to attend their weekly planning sessions from now on. The most related/popular Green Week events to sell products at include:
- Monday, April 18th – “waste”, will include demonstrations about the amount of waste we create, focus on reusable items, also a workshop on how to crochet water bottle sleeves
- Tuesday, April 19th – “water”, ban the bottle!
- Thursday, April 21st – Green Knowledge Panel, a talk will be given at night by various professors, a chance to interact with the Delaware community
- proposed Water.org as an organization to donate proceeds to, as well as Stratford
- attain money through E&W
Promotion
- Reilly proposed setting up a website where people could make orders in advance and pick up during Green Week (Facebook, GoFundMe), a good way to reach out to the entire Delaware community
- Collaborative posters with a schedule of Green Week events, content of poster will include our project
- Plan to hang up in businesses around town to further spread the word
- contact Dalia Lorenzo, who had a house project that involved diva cups
- contact Becca Harrison, the sibling of an alum, who makes reusable pads
Ceramic Wares
- decided on mugs and water bottles, found a company that sells silicone lids at wholesale prices, as well as corks
- set on purchasing 100 lb ($50) of clay (not entirely sure how many vessels that will allow us to make)

To Do:
