Project Update

Long weekend, Lots of work.
     On Thursday we got to work together in class and we shared what we learned from our interviews. Well the problem is that we only had 1 successful interview. Allie's interview with Mr. Kim is where most of our ideas are coming from. The other interviews we attempted had failed. So going into this long weekend we had only 1 physically fixable problem. This problem is the waste in Akahi Dinning Hall. Although this is a great idea we are not totally sure how we are going to solve it.
     Over the weekend we were all adding to a google doc. We typed out the ideas to solving the great amount of food wasting in Akahi. Some of our ideas include making certain serving sizes so students don't overload their plates, create a seconds only line so students are encouraged to go back for seconds instead of piling food on the first time because they don't want to stand in a long line for seconds, and our final idea was to create some kind of reward and consequence system. We realized that we are going to need the help and clearance from the Akahi staff.
     Although we have a lot of ideas for this food waste problem, we are looking to talk to more people to find other problems that could be fixed or other ideas to solve this problem.
