1/2.)I have the belief that pollution is hurting our limited environment. Each household adds to the landfills across our country and eventually, we won't have anywhere to put all of our garbage. I believe a way to reduce waste would be to require each household by a certain date to purchase an "Eco-Shredder". A machine where you would dispose of all of your papers and plastics to be shredded. Each week, along with your garbage the shredded material would be picked up and be used for recycling. As a reward for using this shredder, households would receive tax breaks depending on how much material they contributed. This would greatly help reduce the amount of waste we contribute to our landfills while saving Americans money and thus helping the environment. 3.) The prototypical customer would be every American that lives in a house/apartment and uses plastic materials. Interview #1 I interviewed my mom, Dawn Thomas about this opportunity. Although this opportuni...

Entrepreneurship influences my life each and every day. The mindset revolves around influencing people and making progress. One particular entrepreneurial experience that comes to mind that took place in my hometown on Long Island, NY. I was shopping with my sister at a "Journeys" outlet store with no real intent to make any purchases. While looking at the shoe rack there was this one pair of shoes that were in a special display case. The shoes were white Addidas and I must say they looked freaking awesome. An employee saw the look in my eye and pounced on the opportunity to sell. The guy had this charismatic aura around him that was hypnotic and entertaining. The employee described all of the positive attributes of the shoes and even pulled up the price online to show me that I was getting a fair deal. Long story short, I walked out of the store with a box of the shoes. I didn't regret my purchase, but, I walked out of the store feeling confused as to why I change...
