Problem Statement

Problem Analysis

Proposed Solutions

Solution #1: 5 Year Plan

Advantages

• It is a gradual change, so more likely to be accepted

• Promotes awareness among both vendors and event attendees

• Helps the environment

Disadvantages

• Costly for vendors

• It requires training for volunteers and vendors

• Some vendors might not want to participate because of changes

Solution #2: Host Taste of Muskegon Inside

Advantages

• Much easier to use reusable products since access to running water for washing

Disadvantages

• Does not give a community feel

• Makes it harder for people to sample lots of different vendors

• Finding a space to appropriately accommodate the amount of people

Solution #3: Immediately Implement Zero Waste

Advantages

• Faster process

• Essentially there would be immediate results, and thus an immediate positive change for the environment

Disadvantages

• This could be overwhelming and important steps could be lost along the way

• Vendors might not respond well to immediate changes

  • If they have already pre-ordered product that doesn’t go along with event expectations
