Today’s Focus: Getting ready to jump into mapping, and research

</aside>

Goal for this meeting: Finalize a shared document or spreadsheet to use to collect research for the “mapping” project

Spreadsheet (starting point for discussion):

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IjDdr5szVFcZQtq2nAOFIJRbkJKtVKloJQg8OJ7KpXY/edit?usp=sharing

Key questions for this meeting:

1. What data points will we collect and/or update from each business?

• The current map includes:
  • Location
  • name
  • days/hours it is open
  • brief description
  • link to website and google listing/photos
• Also, are we limiting this to businesses that have some sort of circular/sustainability program? Or are there other things we should point out? (events, volunteer opportunities, etc.)
  • currently the map has: bulk + package-free, repair, farmers markets, secondhand stores and thrift shops
  • compost?
  • discussion on Google group

1. What is the “story” we will share about ZWM when we reach out to do research? (business case, mission/vision, etc.)
   1. Review mission/vision as it’s currently written

Notes + Next steps

• [ ] Question for the Facebook group: crowdsource ideas for “map”/database for community resources
  • [ ] also share the information about collecting pop tabs?
• [ ] Sasha to keep looking into platforms
  • [ ] if you think of search terms, send to Sasha

Looking ahead, starting the mapping:

• Some people will need to audit current locations, others will crowdsource new ones
