The Circular Life of Coffee Grounds and Plastic Bottles
Our main focus for the topic of circular economy is highly related to being kind and united. Circular economy’s concept is to keep an object to use for as long as possible. This principle ties back to the simple idea of kindness and unity.
As we mentioned in the website, Ccliu’s products have helped the environment in many different ways through saving resources and reusing them. All of the plastic bottles and coffee grounds they collected and all of the reusable shoes they made reduced the threat of global warming while giving every consumer ability to participate in the action on creating a sustainable world. In a more practical sense they invite people to take part in beach clean-up activities, helping the scavengers through direct actions, etc. Yet, as people in modern society decrease outdoor activities, Ccilu indirectly improved the health of our community by the benefits of beach clean-up activities to our society, such as but not limited to, reducing people’s stress level and providing people an opportunity for exercise. The company has shown us how they want to achieve another level of business, not only for customers to purchase their products, but to also spread kindness and awareness regarding the idea of circular economy, with people having a kind heart to buy their circular economy products. Their growing company also increases the number of followers and supporters, by joining in on practical activities, more people are united all for a positive goal: to help the world become a better place. At the same time, by paying scavengers an additional salary, the company assists those who might not have been able to make enough money to sustain their living. Their assistance towards the disadvantaged members of our society really touched us.
We learned in this project the true meaning of being unite and kind: from the stories and dreams, we gain a deeper understanding on how some companies hold a kind heart, genuinely developing environment-friendly products, hosting meaningful events to unite people, creating circular economy products, all to improve our community and our lives by following these two important principles: kindness and unity.
