I'm starting on my CarrotMob Campaign and I'm uber nervous! What if I do it all wrong? What if it fails and it's all my fault? I need to stop thinking this way because it will prevent me from doing anything. That's why I need to write here to remind myself that I don't need to be scared! It's amazing how our consciousness is so far off from our subconscious or at least how we are truly feeling!
so,
FEAR = False Evidence Appearing Real
There's nothing to be afraid of except fear itself....that means not going through with this!
I'm on my first step... Applying to start a campaign! It's nerve-wracking. There are so many choices of what kinds of issues to tackle including what types of businesses. I'm going to try to keep this as simple as possible so that it can at least be done right. I mean, it's my first time, and also the first time in Paris.
So, my the people I know are very encouraging and keep me from falling apart! Alors, I must realize my network of people in Paris. These are who they are:
My Professors---Prof. Philipp, Waller
My classmates---Entrepreneurship Team, Operations Management Team, Erasmus
French people---Andrew's friends, Andrew's mom's friends, Jessy's friends, Charlotte's friends, Anais's friends, Thomas' friends, Delia's friends, Marine's friends, Creativity and the Mind guy, Clement
I think that's pretty good right there.
Now, I have to choose my description. I will look to already-done campaigns for inspiration! OK, seriously for it be as simple as possible, let me just think of the bar Charles works at and just for comparison, the bubble tea place on Rue Quincampoix. Just for simplicity and a hypothetical scenerio, I send to all the bars and restaurants an invitation to do the event and how much they plan to spend with their revenue. Does that I mean I should suggest what they should do first? What should a bar change? Let me look at past campaigns.
I've an idea now. So, for bars to be more sustainable---> I would hope they stop making so much glass waste. Rather, recycle the glass bottles. I think I need to find out more information on what bars use. Here's my list:
(I can use this as a resource too http://cocktails.about.com/od/stockyourbar/tp/ecofriendly_bar.htm)
Adapt environmentally friendly practices:
1. To deal with waste-recycle and compost
2. Recycling: Beer bottles--See all the beer bottles that are thrown away everyday (in New Orleans, plastic cups are used, but in Paris, glasses are used for tap beer)
3. Water bottles-end the use of them!
4. Conserve water-when washing
5. Ice-conserving the ice left over from the end of the day
6. Ingredients- going to the Farmer's Market, using fair trade products
7. Cleaning supplies- using environmentally-friendly products
Which works the best?
Movement toward Earth-saving practices
Movement toward greener practices
Saving the earth one bar at a time
So, I'm going to post this:
Now, that I have this down, I need to translate this into French! It's going to take a while so let me try to do it right now...
Wow, finally did it!!! Took so long. Afterwards, I need Andrew to correct it. hehe
I also need to find water bottle alternatives...Maybe I can base a carrotmob off of this.
Fair trade information can be found here http://www.fairtrade.org.uk/products/retail_products/product_browse.aspx?comps=BEER+%26+ALE
So, here's the page, although it's not quite finished yet. http://asnieres-sur-se.carrotmob.org/campaigns/operation_green_up

The goal of this campaign is to get a Parisian bar to adapt environmentally-friendly practices into its bar culture. In turn, hopefully, this would influence other bars to do so as well as its customers.
Some environmentally friendly practices to adopt are:
1. To deal with waste-recycle and compost
2. Recycling: Beer bottles--See all the beer bottles that are thrown away everyday (in New Orleans, plastic cups are used, but in Paris, glasses are used for tap beer), cans----actually, in france i think you can't recycle these...
3. Water bottles-end the use of them!
4. Conserve water-when washing
5. Ice-conserving the ice left over from the end of the day
6. Ingredients- going to the Farmer's Market, using fair trade products
7. Cleaning supplies- using environmentally-friendly products
8. Selling Fair trade products/ more green options on the menu
Please do not hesitate to suggest more ideas.
Now, that I have this down, I need to translate this into French! It's going to take a while so let me try to do it right now...

Cette campagne à pour but de adopter des pratiques environnementales dans les bars parisiens en commençant par un bar. Ensuite, avec l’espoir, cet événement influencerait les autres à y faire et les clients aussi.
Des pratiques environnementales de adopter sont :
1. Transformer ses déchets –faire composte et recycler
2. Recycler –des bouteilles des bières, des cannettes
3. Fini les bouteilles d’eau
4. Conservation de l’eau
5. Conservation des glaçons- ils restent beaucoup à la fin de la journée
6. Les Ingrédients- choisir les marchés locales et des produits équitables
7. Equipement des nettoyages- choisir ceux-là qui sont bons pour l’environnement
8. Ajouter les choix équitables et bios dans le menu
N’hésitez pas à me suggérer des idées !
I also need to find water bottle alternatives...Maybe I can base a carrotmob off of this.
