Brainstorm

The scene was set to do brainstorms the 13/3 2007

The cleaning of the homebase is our responsibility this week, and the plan was to do the dishes as a part of warm up for the brainstorm but Helene was a true saint and did it all by her self. Well done!

The Brainstorms was to open up and not just to think about the lunch kit but that feeding the volunteers and spectators is …

TO DEAL WITH A MEAL
A meal is just not the food, it is also handling the utilities: from storage in a cupboard, to putting the things on the table, to eat, to carry the utilities away, to wash up, to dry the things and put them all away again.
And what happens when 40.000 is going to do this at the same time?
This brainstorm gave thought both to the system around the way food is going to be served and how to dealing with waste, and at the same time we realised that the the lunch kit also developed.

Other brainstorms:
What is a spectator going to bring him or her?
What does it take for you to put your waste in the right box?
What kind of recycling do we like?
What kind of recycling do we use now and how did we start to do it?

And we had a short look at facts: how are the waste systems working in DK and Germany.

All in all the keywords of the day: stick or carrot, awareness, overview, easy, possible, fun, practical and efficiency.
Important thought was: avoiding food traffic jam, information in general: e.g. if the Germans are told to sort out their waste they will do it. Other kind of information that can be encouraging: what is the next step on the road for the waste?
