Me: “What changes has Pedal People Experienced over the course of its 15 years of operation? Clarrisa jumped right into the contract with the town of Northampton.” (Her eyes lit up as she begin telling me the transformation which occurred over night with this contract.) Clarrisa: “In 2006 the town approached Pedal People and said we should put a bid into the town for trash collection in the down town strip for public receptacles. The Cooperative was able to hire 3 people almost overnight as a direct result of the contract. (Energized) “The town approached them about putting in a bid for the contract which was based on being physically out on the streets and being seen by people who happen to work and live in the town of Northampton. (No discussion of what the amount the contract was for between the town governance) “This Contract guaranteed employment for staff after establishing themselves in the area for the last 4 years. One contributing factor to this, Clarrisa later discussed.” Me: Can you describe how you built your client volume? Was it a progressive increase of customers or overnight success? …show more content…
Customers resonated with Pedal Peoples Mission to reduce carbon emissions through alternative means of hauling trash.

Writer and director, Bob Nesson, in his documentary film Power of the Pedal, points out that the small ideas can positively impact the environment. He chronicles the business success story of Wenzday Jane who worked her way out of public housing and into a niche that has turned into a small business—Metro Pedal Power. Jane’s business is a delivery service for Boston and Cambridge MA. and the surrounding areas via cargo bicycles. Nesson’s purpose is to bring awareness to his audience that there are better alternative to the way society does various tasks in its day-to-day businesses that are less harmful to the environment. He does this by appealing to the eco-friendly, logical minded, and sentimental aspects of the viewer. He accomplishes this by showing a better way to deliver goods in a congested community, images of how the environment and community are better off with more approaches like the ones in this story, and finally with a heart-touching emotional story of how an underdog beats the olds.

...ouncil. The quandary that planners seemed to face here was to work with the system of politics. The minutes of the meetings suggests that planners did not do enough to push for the initial proposals that are more evenly distributed. It is also interesting to notice the effect of council members and their vested interests in the regions they were represented. They are not characterized as professionals but when it comes to ethical issues and working towards common good there is no other body that has vested interests in community’s common good.

But it is to be noted that the planners have to make the decisions objectively taking into consideration all the possible outcomes, in this case the effect on schools and education which they did fail.

Graphic artists initially were recruited to communicate sustainability in Cleveland, Ohio, to produce a series of bus ads supporting Green Jobs and Public Transportation. Since the project’s inception, other campaigns have launched to provoke public dialogue about energy independence and sustainability in the fight against climate change. Green Patriot Posters engage with the public through their website that displays posters along with opportunities for the public to contribute, make a poster, how to get involved, and solutions for a sustainable future.
Fast forward to 2015 and we now see this same scenario being played out, except in a very unique way. Instead of building individual relationships with only a handful of customers, technology has now given us the opportunity to build relationships with countless people. It is even possible to build these relationships with people from around the world.

Mr. Rankin is the person responsible for the technical implementation of a new customer relationship management software. The company he works for is having great success with initial sales across the country, but when it comes to repeat customers, it seems the numbers are lacking. This software, in theory, should increase the levels of follow-up service nation-wide. At this point, the company employs three hundred and ten people and maintains their low prices, which is how they get their initial business.
