Team Work

We try to get out for our run early enough, but it doesn't make any difference.  It is just as humid and you come home just as drenched. No way to avoid hair washing much less take less than two showers a day.  Yes, even I have come to that point, especially if we happen to go for an evening short walk.  The neighbors are all getting out in the evening for a stroll now.  Good way to catch up on what's going on in the hood.

I've thought a lot about how we were able to get our recycling project to this point. The city had this idea back in 2006.  However, after their feasibility study, paid for with taxpayer, city funds, it was literally put on the shelf because it was deemed undo able. They were of the mindset of yes or no not how.  That is where the difference lay.

We didn't think should we or shouldn't we.  We already knew that aspect.  The only decisions to make were how and that is where the work came in. Working together as a team, we explored every possibility and avenue until we found a way.  It had to be palatable to everyone concerned: be it community, workers, city planners or committee members.  That we were able to find a way that satisfies every one's taste, to a degree, I think is phenomenal. 

That being said, it,doesn't mean we all got our first choice of method, but it does mean that everyone found that it was a program that they could support and live with over time. The logo is a prime example of how we were able to come to a consensus and be happy with our choice. And I have to say, it is a product that not only we can be proud of, but the community as a whole can say with pride it represents them.

Now if we could only get our government to work this way. Maybe we should be consultants to the government and show them how to get the job done.
